A nonprofit entity, Gateway Homes provides residential mental health services in Chesterfield County. The organization, which was founded in 1983, operates a 36-acre campus that provides a comprehensive treatment facility for adults diagnosed with a serious mental illness. Those treated at the facility have access to mental health care in addition to case management, skills training, counseling, education, and psychosocial rehabilitation. Gateway Homes treats both men and women at it's residential campus. To be considered for treatment, all patients must be at least 18 years old and have a primary diagnosis of mental illness. Individuals who have committed a sexual offense are not allowed, and any individuals with a recent history of self-injury are evaluated on a case by case basis. In addition, the organization requires that any individuals admitted for treatment express a desire to recover, especially in cases of substance abuse treatment. Gateway Homes also does not treat individuals with personality disorders, eating disorders, developmental disorders, or those with a significant intellectual impairment.
