Medications for Addiction Treatment On-Site
Wells House – Gale House provides on-site medications for addiction treatment (MAT) for individuals recovering from opioid and alcohol use disorders. Integrating MAT with counseling allows clients to receive medical and behavioral support in one place, supporting consistent care and reducing barriers for those managing complex health needs during recovery.
Structured Routines with Peer Support
Clients participate in a structured daily schedule that includes individual and group counseling, 12-Step facilitation, and peer mentoring. The facility integrates Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings, offering peer-led support and accountability that help build community and reduce isolation, which can be critical in early recovery.
Programs That Support Real-Life Stability
Recognizing that recovery extends beyond treatment, Wells House – Gale House also offers transportation assistance and opportunities for vocational and life skills support through its broader organizational programming. These services can help clients address challenges like financial instability and lack of social support while working toward independent living and employment after treatment.
Mixed Feedback Reflects Individual Fit
Patient reviews reflect a mix of experiences: some praised the program’s structure and support, noting the role of 12-Step recovery and staff guidance. Others criticized the environment as overly strict or impersonal compared to peer-run sober housing. These perspectives suggest that Gale House may be most effective for individuals seeking a highly structured, no-frills approach to recovery, especially those needing specialized support not offered elsewhere.
