Gateway Rehab is recognized by the state of Pennsylvania’s department of human services as an Opioid Use Disorder Center of Excellence. This recognition allows our organization to offer more comprehensive programming for addiction treatment in the Greater Pittsburgh area. As one of 45 designated legacy Centers of Excellence across the state, Gateway Rehab provides addiction therapy to individuals suffering from opioid use disorder and provides specialized care coordination.
We believe that recovery from addiction should be accessible and affordable to everyone. Our Center of Excellence is administered through our Care Coordination Program, which puts comprehensive recovery plans into action for people who are receiving Medicaid.
From there, we work to ensure that people with opioid-related substance use disorders have access to treatment, as well as follow-up care and support from their communities. Care is team-based and “whole person” focused, with the explicit goal of integrating behavioral health and primary care. If you or a loved one is struggling with opioid dependency, don’t delay. Start your journey to recovery with us today.
Once enrolled into the COE, an evaluation of treatment and non-treatment needs is completed for each patient. Whether you need MAT, housing, or a primary care doctor, we will connect you to the right resources.

Program Eligibility:
In the event that a patient is hospitalized for complications related to their substance use disorder, our hospital-based team will be there to ensure that they receive the proper level of care for a successful transitional care or discharge. Our clinicians are trained to help patients undergo detox safely, under medical supervision. We can arrange transportation from the hospital to one of our facilities, and arrange for a smooth transition into MAT, counseling, and any other service that is needed for the specific patient at the time.
Whether you’re coming from work, home, school, or the hospital, we’re here for you. We will meet with our patients at least once a month for a face-to-face visit to see how they are doing and help them connect with any ongoing resources that they may need.

And you’ve nowhere else to turn
When the light that once filled your eyes
Has ebbed and ceased to burn
