Billy Greg (Director of Family Communications)
Greg: I came to Gatehouse, where having come from, group homes, residential treatment centers, psychiatric hospitals. Some of them were lock down, some of them were secure, some of them were open campuses. Gatehouse operates on an open campus basis.
Dan D. Sours (Clinical Director)
Sours: The majority of the residents that come to our facility have multiple treatment failures.
Anthony Marengo (Director of Admissions)
Marengo: My family had told me whatever they needed to say to get me here. It was a life or death issue for me. I didn’t realize that, but my family did, and I’m grateful for that. And I had agreed to come for two weeks and they told me I didn’t have to cut my hair, shave. I could have a car and check myself out on weekends.
Greg: I found Gatehouse, I was really losing hope that the system, the quote unquote, system, had really lost touch with what addicts needed.
Marengo: You know I, all the thoughts that were going through my head, I just gotta get out of here. And I’m going to do these two weeks and get my head straight and everything will be fine. And that’s how delusional I was, that I could fix all the unmanageability that I created in my life, heal all the wound that I caused in two weeks time.
Sours: I think the advantage that we have is the longevity in which the residents are in our program.
Matt Brown (Admissions)
Brown: We’ve adopted a long term model here, with the intent that we want this to be the last time, even if it’s the first time, we want it to be the last time that a young person has to go through a treatment program.
Marengo: Gatehouse totally did what Gatehouse does. I slowly bought in, I met people like me.
Sours: The unique part about the groups we do is they begin to see that they have an impact on other people.
Greg: If someone were to come into our organization they think we could be a training facility for how to help people. And in many ways that’s what a lot of our graduates end up doing, is that they continue to give back to recovery in general.
Brown: To be there to answer questions and help families getting confidence that there is help available. Is extremely rewarding. And it’s good for my own recovery and it’s wonderful to see miracles on a daily basis happen in the lives of these young men and women.
