Ideas about what drug rehab is really like are often completely different than reality. At Gatehouse Academy, we believe that participating in recreational activities and living alongside other young adults in an open campus setting are important features that encourage growth in recovery. But enough of the hype, why don't you check it out for yourself?

Still feel like some of your questions are answered? Here are common concerns of residents new to Gatehouse Academy:

"Nobody will understand what my life has been like."

It's true that nobody else knows exactly what you're going through, because it's your addiction, your struggle, your pain -- your life. But it is possible for people to relate. Our entire staff is made up of recovering addicts who have extensive training in working with young adults, just like you. You'll also be living with over one hundred young men and women who come from all over the U.S. and the entire world, and are eager to share their similar experiences.

"I don't want to live in the middle of nowhere."

Life on our Arizona campus is more open and free than it sounds. Everyone lives in apartments called casitas where they have privacy and independence. You'll have lots of freedom to do fun activities like basketball, music lessons, skateboarding, yoga, painting, and shopping. There's also time to just chill out alone or hang with other residents. See it all for yourself in our photo gallery.

"I'm not worried about coming off of drugs; I'm afraid that I'll never enjoy life without them."

You may not remember, or even want to think about, life without getting high. But at Gatehouse Academy, you'll get a chance to revisit the passions and interests that made your life enjoyable before drugs were in the picture. You may not like it at first, but it beats sitting in a cold, dark cell or being homeless and alone. If you've read this far, you're obviously curious.
