What it reported doing in 2024

Gateway Healthcare, Inc.'s (Gateway) Adult Services include an Adult Emergency Program that provides around-the-clock telephone and face-to-face crisis intervention services to adults and families experiencing an emotional crisis. A crisis hot line is staffed at all times by Master Level crisis clinicians who provide support and guidance to active consumers of Gateway's services or those needing help in accessing care. Face-to-face evaluation and crisis de-escalation are provided through a team of office-based, emergency department-based, and home-based clinicians who respond to calls for intervention statewide. In addition to crisis management, Gateway Emergency Services ensures that consumers in need of ongoing treatment gain access to treatment, or if they are medically or psychiatrically hospitalized, assists consumers with discharge planning and care coordination. Adult health home and rehabilitative treatment services provide community-based services through outreach efforts and support to adults aged 18 and older who live with severe and persistent mental illness in the community. The Adult Emergency Services Program is designed to help people reach a level of recovery that will allow them to lead productive, satisfactory, and independent lives. Services include supportive counseling, advocacy, encouragement and assistance in accessing resources, individual and family psychotherapy, substance abuse treatment, skill-building groups, rehabilitative services for social integration, vocational needs, educational goals, crisis intervention, nursing services, daily living skills training, evaluations of responses to treatment interventions, and ongoing assessments of needs. Substance abuse services include substance abuse education as well as individual, family, and group counseling in an office-based outpatient setting. Case management, outreach, and crisis intervention services are also provided. Psychiatric services and assessments are available, as well as medication-assisted therapy for people suffering from addiction or dealing with the effects of medications needed for treatment of co-occurring substance abuse and other emotional disorders.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 95% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
