In 1978, the founders opened the doors to one of Jacksonville’s greatest non-profits, Gateway. Forty years ago, this group of recovering alcoholics wanted their “miracle of sobriety,” which was achieved through the success of 12 Step recovery and treatment brought to the Jacksonville community for those suffering from addiction, especially those without means to pay. They had an overwhelming will to heal, and so they found the way. Gateway was founded by people in recovery for people seeking recovery.
Today, Gateway has become a recognized leader in the treatment of addictive disorders for adults, adolescents and veterans, touching the lives of over 300,000 people in treatment and prevention services.
