A young man is first and foremost an individual. Thus, his healing and education is best driven by the individual he is now, and the individual he is capable of becoming.

Every young man shares common traits. But common traits by no means merit a common approach. Gateway is resolute that each young man receive an individualized balance of intense therapy, demanding accredited schooling, and structured therapeutic recreation. Our commitment to this maxim is what shapes and contours Gateway’s unique approach.

We also believe such individual attention and care is best created in a real home - A home that welcomes each young man into a familial circle with a safe, nurturing, and skilled staff. In other words, a home not only of therapist, teacher, mentor and supervisor, but also that of mother, father, sister, brother and best friend.

At Gateway, parents are assured that their son is learning to create for himself, his life - A life where he feels worthwhile, connected, and in control. Where every advantage is given for his healing, and his unique transition back to family relationships and life.
