Alabama care-setting mix

How Alabama's 189 listings split by care setting

Exclusive outpatient / residential partition for this listing's state peers. Orthogonal to the inventory≠MAT dual above and to this facility's own service list (service rows can overlap; these buckets cannot).

Sparse-record desk: Gateway

Signature: Medicaid flagged. Gateway is a sparse N-SUMHSS sheet (18 attrs; below 30). Treat missing MAT/Medicaid/modality rows as unreported, not proven absent; confirm by phone before travel.

What is present: outpatient; Medicaid. What is thin: many SAMHSA fields blank on this vintage. Gateway's SAMHSA record documents fewer attributes (18) than the typical Alabama facility (state median: 32, out of 189 listed statewide). That is common for smaller or newly-surveyed programs and does not mean fewer services are actually offered, it means fewer were self-reported to SAMHSA. Call the facility directly to confirm services not shown here.
