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.

Quality and Trust

A

Trust Score

A simple A–E grade that offers a quick view of how much confidence you might place in a facility. It’s not a guarantee of quality or outcomes, but a data-informed tool to help guide your search. More on our methodology.

Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities

CARF reviews rehab programs to make sure they provide respectful, effective, and personalized care. For addiction treatment, CARF uses standards developed with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), so this accreditation shows the program follows trusted, evidence-based guidelines for treating substance use.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
