Located on a bus-accessible property in Jacksonville’s East Side, Gateway Community Services’ Girls Recovery Center provides residential and outpatient addiction treatment designed specifically for adolescent girls. Programs combine 12-step facilitation with therapy, family counseling, and trauma care in a structured, supportive setting. Clinicians provide care for co-occurring disorders, medication management, and relapse prevention.

Gender-Specific Residential Care

At the Girls Recovery Center in Jacksonville’s Wally Green Campus, adolescent girls receive 24/7 residential support in a structured setting. The program blends a 12-step–informed model with individual and group therapy, trauma counseling, and family sessions. Specialized services are available for youth who have experienced trauma, abuse, or are living with HIV/AIDS. Continuing care groups extend recovery support after discharge.

Education Without Interruption

An on-campus Duval County school allows teens to continue earning credits while in treatment. School staff coordinate directly with home schools, so coursework remains aligned and transitions back into traditional classrooms are smoother. Vocational and GED support further help teens prepare for long-term academic and career goals.

Integrated Co-Occurring and Trauma Services

The center provides care for both substance use and mental health needs with approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, anger management, and relapse prevention. Clinicians also offer medication management, trauma counseling, and suicide prevention services. Community service access adds another layer of continuity beyond the program.

Outpatient and Family Support

For teens who do not require residential care, outpatient treatment allows them to continue living at home while engaging in therapy and structured support. Family counseling fosters communication and healing, while case management connects families to social and recovery services. The facility also offers sign language interpretation for deaf and hard-of-hearing clients. Smoking and vaping are not permitted on site, and flexible payment options help families access treatment.
