Gatehouse College Campus is a co-ed
residence designed to support young adults ages 18 and older, who are
new in recovery, in a
supportive, positively structured environment, as they pursue their educational
and vocational goals.
Our residents are committed to drug free and sober living and they thrive
in the safety of
community and accountability as they continue their process of transition
into self-sufficiency and self-management. They are committed to and involved
in 12 step based recovery.
Our students typically transition to our
residences from drug and alcohol treatment programs, where they have established
their foot-hold in sober living. There is a minimum sobriety requirement
of six months for entry into this program.
(The fundamental requirement for entry into this program is a commitment to sober living.)
We know that the first few years of recovery
are critical and
challenging.
We also know that the longer one practices and embraces new
behaviors, beliefs and thoughts, the greater the likelihood that these healthy
ways of being are integrated and
maintained.
Length of stay in structured residential settings and continued recovery
work are the clearest predictors of continued abstinence.
Newly sober and experiencing ‘life in the world’ is challenging.
‘How do I have fun if I don’t use?’ ‘How do I get
along in social situations if I’m sober?’ Will I be isolated by
my fellow classmates, because I don’t drink or drug?’ ‘Is
my life now going to be boring?’
These serious social and life questions enter into every newly recovering
person’s mind, whether young or old.
By living in a collective sober
community with accountability and support, our students learn that, yes,
a sober lifestyle is rich with friendships and fun!

We believe...
that students in recovery from drug and alcohol abuse and addiction,
need safe places to live while pursuing a higher education. A place where
threats to sobriety can be balanced by the collective strengths and accountabilities
of a recovery
community.
Our primary purpose is to support these young adults in continuing to
choose a sober lifestyle and in pursuing higher education.
