Join us in what Gateway aims to make a sought-after annual networking and community strengthening opportunity for years to come.

THE NEED

The leading cause of death for Americans under 50 today is overdose. The New York Times has dubbed the COVID-19 pandemic a “national relapse trigger”. New provisional data released by the federal government estimates that nearly 108,000 people died from drug overdoses from January to December, 2021. Uncertain times combined with social isolation have taken an immense toll on people with substance use disorders, making the present an urgent time to support and strengthen treatment programs and recovery resources.

THE IMPACT

In fiscal year 2022, Gateway Foundation served over 37,000 clients across 8 states including: 16 Illinois community division sites; gateway connect virtual recovery platforms; and corrections and community corrections division programs, which have a significant and transformative presence in St. Louis.

Gateway Foundation is a national, non-profit organization committed to reducing substance abuse and co-occurring mental health problems through effective and efficient treatment programs.

Since its founding on Chicago’s South Side in 1968, Gateway Foundation has served over one million people with substance use disorder (SUD) and mental health challenges. Gateway is a recipient of the Gold Seal of Approval from the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, serving clients through its community and corrections divisions, and as of 2020 its burgeoning online platform gatewayconnect.

Gateway specializes in SUD interventions at 16 Illinois facilities: Chicago, Gurnee, Skokie, Lake Villa, Aurora, Joliet, Pekin, Springfield, Jacksonville, Swansea, Caseyville, Carbondale, Skokie, and Downers Grove. Expert clinicians understand that addiction is a disease of the brain and should be treated with addiction medicine using the best practices healthcare has to offer. Accessibility to Gateway treatment combats the ongoing national and regional addiction crisis. Driven by a relentless organizational culture of continuous improvement and core values of integrity, teamwork, opportunity, adaptation and compassion, Gateway is proud to be ranked among the best addiction treatment centers in the nation by Newsweek/Statistica in 2020.
