Critical
Community Need
Communities in our region and across the United States are facing a crisis
relative to addiction. The use of drugs and alcohol is rampant and
increasing, affecting people from every community regardless of
socioeconomic standing, race, or religion. The problem is national in
scope and almost epidemic in proportion. Nearly eight percent of the total
United States population meets the criteria for having an addictive
disorder and these numbers continue to grow. This single chronic illness
destroys individual lives, families and communities.
Gateway Rehab Restores Lives and
Communities
Through its extensive treatment and prevention efforts, Gateway Rehab has
helped to improve - and in many cases, save - individual lives as well as
families. Since opening its doors in 1972, more than 100,000 adults and
youth have taken their first, critical steps toward recovery at Gateway.
Over the years the generosity of supporters has enabled Gateway Rehab to
expand services to include treating adolescents as well as adults, open
new community-based programs, provide treatment for hundreds of people
without insurance or other means to pay, purchase equipment and other
supplies and open 17 outpatient sites to provide effective treatment
throughout western Pennsylvania and Ohio.
You
can help! National studies have shown that for every
dollar invested in drug and alcohol treatment, society saves $12 to $15 in
other costs such as public systems (judicial, healthcare, insurance,
detention, and welfare), and impacts safety (crime and homelessness
reduction). For this reason we appeal to you to allow us to advance our
mission of successfully treating individuals with chemical dependencies
through a donation to Gateway Rehab.
