About

About Gateway Community Services Inc

Gateway Community Services is a long-established Jacksonville non-profit that has provided addiction treatment in Northeast Florida since 1978. The organization is CARF accredited, operates as a Certified Community Behavioral Health Center (CCBHC), and is sponsored by LSF Health Systems and the Florida Department of Children and Families. Gateway is a recognized regional leader in the treatment of substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions in both adults and adolescents.

The Gateway continuum runs from prevention and awareness through medical detoxification, residential treatment, outpatient programs, family counseling and transitional recovery housing. Specialty programming includes adolescent treatment such as the Boys Recovery Center, an integrated CCBHC model that combines mental health and substance use services, and Project Save Lives, a hospital-based peer overdose intervention recognized for its outcomes in the Journal of Public Health Management and Practice.

Accessibility is central to Gateway’s mission. The organization welcomes all who seek treatment, including people who are uninsured or underinsured, accepts Medicaid, state insurance and private insurance, and provides sliding-scale and financial-assistance options. Gateway maintains an ADA coordinator and interpreter services for the hearing impaired so that Deaf and limited-English-proficiency clients can receive care without barriers.

Gateway’s evidence-based clinical model pairs cognitive behavioral therapy with the 12-step recovery framework, individual and group counseling, and family work. The organization also leads community education programs such as Talkable Communities, which trains teachers, parents and clergy in Northeast Florida to identify and respond to early signs of mental health crises in youth. Together, these services support a comprehensive, community-anchored approach to recovery.
