 Download a Brochure
Gateway Healthcare offers specialized Child and
Adolescent Intensive Treatment Services (CAITS)
to youths who are experiencing difficulties with
substance abuse and behavioral health issues.
This Co-Occurring Disorder (COD) program is
designed to work with the youth and their families
within the context of the adolescent’s social
environment (school, community, home, etc).
We provide an array of clinically-oriented,
community-based services and supports geared
to address the multitude and complex needs of
adolescents and their families.
EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT
We provide evidence-based treatment, implementing
Motivational Enhanced Therapy/Cognitive Behavioral
Therapy (MET/CBT) for adolescent substance abusers
and his/her family. The MET/CBT intervention seeks
to extend the focus of treatment beyond the world of
the adolescent by engaging the whole family system,
a major factor in the adolescent’s life.
TEAM APPROACH
Our COD program provides intensive clinical
services and supports that are geared toward the
individual and family. The team is comprised of a
multidisciplinary team of professionals that include
psychiatrists, licensed mental health counselors, social
workers, substance abuse professionals, master level
clinical staff, and casemanagers. Treatment is delivered
primarily in a community, school, and/or family setting.
