About Gateway – Lexington Avenue

Gateway on Lexington Avenue in residential Jacksonville, Florida, serves adolescents and adults who are navigating the criminal justice system because of consequences they’re dealing with that stem from their substance use disorders. The Jacksonville office offers problem solving court services in an outpatient setting. You’ll find supportive addiction recovery care to help start rebuilding your life.

They only take appointments and accept most insurance policies, but court services are generally offered at structured fees.

Wrap Around Support

The Lexington Avenue Center is a part of the Gateway network. You’ll have access to a host of wrap around services that will help you on your journey to sobriety.

Many people who seek care here are also enrolled in the outpatient program offered through Gateway. In this program, you’ll get counseling and outpatient services available in mornings and evenings. They’re extended to adults and adolescents in office and in school settings.

Jacksonville also has plenty of ways to relax and stretch your legs, which can supplement your recovery. The Batt Family Fun Center isn’t too far away, and Cedar Creek is within driving distance.

Problem Solving Court Services

Adolescents and adults who are ordered to go through problem solving court services will be enrolled in a program overseen by a multidisciplinary team and a judge. Your progress will be monitored by your recovery team and your legal team.

These types of programs give you a second chance at leading a sober and fruitful future. Instead of simply facing criminal charges for substance use related actions, you’ll have the opportunity to work toward productive and meaningful recovery goals to positively impact your life.

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient rehabilitation allows you to continue to live at home during drug or alcohol addiction treatment. This type of treatment may be more suitable for those unable to take extended absences from work or personal obligations. Gateway has three levels of outpatient treatment, each with specific time commitments. Before patients are admitted to many of their outpatient programs, they must attend four two hour Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) groups. Their traditional outpatient services program, the least restrictive level of care, meets from 10 am to 12 pm once or twice a week. For evening groups, the frequency of this service could increase to four nights a week depending on the need of the individual. Their next level of care, day program meets three hours a day from 9 am to 12 pm five days a week for six to eight weeks. Patients can also attend our Intensive Outpatient Program, which is offered both in the mornings from 9 am to 12 pm and evening from 5:45 pm to 8:45 pm three times a week.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in Florida provides quality treatment to help individuals overcome dependency related to a wide range of addictive substances. Programs address both the physical and mental aspects of addiction in order to help you make a full recovery.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Well its free... However its state sponsored which means no smoking or vaping but theyll pump you full of nicotine patches til you puke. Need a suboxxone maintenance program? These guys will hook you up. Dont need a suboxxone maintenance program? These guys will get you hooked... I would give it 3 stars because its a mediocre facility IMO but the staff do really care and they saved my life when I ODd on fentanyl and my friends took me there. But if you need to go to rehab and you dont have insurance for a private facility youre really not in a position to be choosy are you?

They did not have my information and I had to relay messages back and forth between them and DCF just so I could do the urinalysis.the staff was friendly but I would expect a higher level of professionalism from a company that has the ability to dictate ones future.
