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, and 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.

Today, we reflect on the work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose vision for dignity, community, and compassion continues to guide our efforts.

Dr. King reminded us that “Everybody can be great, because anybody can serve.” At The GateHouse, this call to service is reflected in our commitment to walk alongside those who've chosen to take their path to recovery, ensuring access to care, support, and opportunity for healing.

We've committed ourselves to building a community rooted in empathy and hope, where every person knows they are valued.

May our past show us how we can make a better future together. 🧡

This year, we’re looking forward to:

• Expanding rent scholarships and direct client assistance
• Sharing more recovery stories, including the voices of families
• Completing the 12-Step Trail in Marietta
• Making targeted improvements to our facilities as approvals allow
• Coordinating outreach more intentionally

What won’t change is the heart of our work. The GateHouse remains committed to long-term recovery, practical support, and the belief that with the right tools and a supportive community, people can rebuild their lives.

As we reflect on the end of 2025 and look ahead to 2026, we are reminded that recovery is built through steady support and community.

The GateHouse continues to meet people where they are, even during a year of economic uncertainty, to provide housing support, essential resources, and long-term recovery services that help rebuild stability and purpose.

The impact reaches far beyond the individual, strengthening families and the wider community along the way.
