Gateway operates programs for the Missouri Department of Corrections in various institutions across the state. These programs incorporate evidence based individualized levels of care including outpatient, intensive outpatient and residential levels of treatment. Two of these programs operate in fully dedicated treatment institutions for males. There are two programs for females, and a special needs treatment program for male clients with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health or medical needs. In addition, Gateway provides comprehensive diagnostic substance use assessment services for the Missouri Department of Corrections across the state.
