What the SAMHSA Record Shows About Gateway

Gateway is a mental health treatment operated by Private non-profit organization in Birmingham, Alabama. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 1 primary care modality (outpatient), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled. MAT is not listed in the current record; callers seeking medication-assisted options should verify directly or check the rankings pages for nearby providers that do offer MAT. The full postal address on file is 1401 20th Street South, Birmingham, AL 35205.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 3 distinct service lines (Co-occurring disorder treatment, Mental health treatment, Outpatient), 0 substance or condition categories treated, and 5 clinical treatment approaches (Abnormal involuntary movement scale, Activity therapy, Couples/family therapy, Group therapy, Individual psychotherapy). It serves 6 specific population groups (Adolescents, Adults, Children with serious emotional disturbance, Persons who have experienced trauma, Seniors, Young adults) with 0 languages of care. Those figures give a rough signal of programmatic breadth, a higher number of approaches and populations usually indicates more structured clinical programming rather than a single-modality operation. Payment-wise, the record confirms Medicaid, plus 3 specific payment methods enumerated in the survey (Federal Grants, Medicaid, State welfare or child and family services funds).

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.

Use this page as a starting screen, not a final decision. SAMHSA fields are self-reported by the facility and refreshed on a rolling basis, so wait times, bed availability, current insurance contracts, and staff credentials are best confirmed on a direct intake call to (205) 510-2600. This page is a factual directory summary, not medical advice, clinical endorsement, or a guarantee of admission. For any acute crisis or active substance-use emergency, call the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357 or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline before visiting any facility.
