The GateHouse

The GateHouse Restoring the human spirit through recovery. This page is for alumni, family and friends of The GateHouse. The length of stay varies.

All of The Gate House programs provide the client with quality, reality-oriented professional counseling services and basic life skills training so that they may fully develop. The treatment is based on the philosophy of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, and principles of a holistic approach to recovery. Our staff and extended resources include competent and knowledgeable, certified, a

nd degreed professionals who specialize in substance abuse, codependency, and mental health problems. The residential programs, known as The Gate House for Men and The Gate House for Women, provide structured living and on-going treatment for adult men and women recovering from chemical dependency. Many people find that after they have completed an inpatient detox or rehabilitation program, they need continued support. The Gate House programs provide a safe place for people who need a little more time in a drug-free environment away from old people, places, and temptations where they can continue to stabilize before moving forward. Both programs are Pennsylvania State licensed and are recognized by the Pennsylvania Client Placement Criteria at level 2B. The transitional housing/recovery house program provides a safe supportive living environment conducive to emotional and spiritual needs of an individual new to recovery. Outpatient treatment consists of individualized treatment planning which includes the client in deciding the course of their treatment. Outpatient services also include assessments and referrals to community-based resources, relapse prevention planning, and the practicing of recovery skills without disrupting daily routines and is offered for men and women at both our Mountville, PA and Lititz, PA location.

“This was the best decision I have ever made.”

Dan’s words are a powerful reminder of what can become possible when someone finds the right support, structure, and community in recovery. We are grateful to walk alongside individuals as they rebuild their lives, rediscover hope, and learn what it means to live sober, one day at a time.

Thank you to Dan, for sharing this perspective and for trusting The GateHouse to be part of your recovery journey.

Stories like this continue to inspire our mission and affirm the life-changing impact that compassionate, professional care can have.

On Memorial Day, we pause to recognize all of those who gave everything of themselves in service to our country.

Their sacrifice represents a level of courage, commitment, and selflessness that cannot be forgotten. We also recognize the families, friends, active service members, and veterans who also carry the grief, loss, and the lasting weight of service.

We remember those who have been lost with respect and reflection.
