Gateway Counseling Services

Gateway Counseling Services structures their outpatient addiction treatment around two primary levels of care: standard outpatient programs and intensive outpatient treatment. The standard outpatient program allows individuals to attend therapy sessions while maintaining work, family, and housing stability. For those requiring more intensive support, their IOP provides increased contact hours and structured programming without requiring residential placement.

Both programs incorporate individual therapy sessions for personalized recovery planning and group therapy sessions that build peer connections. This combination helps clients develop personal coping skills while establishing the community relationships that support long-term recovery. The center's focus on substance use disorders ensures specialized attention to addiction-specific challenges and solutions.

Beyond traditional addiction treatment, Gateway provides specialized DUI evaluations that serve both legal requirements and recovery entry points. These evaluations help individuals understand their relationship with substances while meeting court mandates, often becoming the first step toward comprehensive treatment engagement.

Their comprehensive assessment services support both voluntary and mandated clients in understanding their treatment needs. These detailed evaluations inform treatment planning and help individuals transition from legal obligations into meaningful recovery work. This dual approach makes Gateway valuable for people entering recovery through various pathways.

Operating throughout Spokane County and Eastern Washington, Gateway maintains a Monday-through-Friday schedule with hours extending into early evening. This accessibility supports working professionals, parents, and students who need addiction treatment that fits around their existing responsibilities. Friday hours end earlier, while weekends remain available for intensive programming when needed.

The center's location in Spokane provides central access for the broader Eastern Washington region. Their established presence since 2007 has created familiarity within local recovery communities, legal systems, and healthcare networks. This integration helps clients access coordinated care and community resources that support sustained recovery.
