Metro Drug Coalition is fighting to save lives with the region's only recovery community center, The Gateway.

Through the building of The Gateway, we will connect individuals and families to social and community resources, serve those who wish to uncover their unique pathway to long-term sustainable recovery, and give people the opportunity to give back to others as they strengthen their own recovery.

The Gateway is a recovery community center, based off a national evidence-based model to provide additional supports and on-going recovery to those transitioning from addiction treatment back into the community or who are seeking recovery, but need someone to walk beside them as they navigate a path free from substance misuse. The disease of addiction is both chronic (lifelong) and relapsing. By keeping individuals from isolating during the early stages of recovery, we can further strengthen their skills and reduce potential relapses.

Phase One of Knoxville's first recovery community center, The Gateway, opened to the public on September 23, 2022. Since that time, there have been over 3,000 visits to The Gateway to attend recovery meetings, participate in art and music therapy, receive recovery coaching and treatment referrals, and more!

Now we need your help to complete construction of Phase Two, which will include a coffee shop employing individuals in recovery, a gym and recreational area, computer lab, and offices.
