The Gateway Foundation is located all throughout Central Illinois with the hope of helping those struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.

Mindy Melton is an Outreach Coordinator with the Gateway Foundation. There are multiple ways to contact the Gateway Foundation if you need help, Melton says there are even location to help adolescents.

Melton says the program is one of the most effective in Central Illinois. She is very proud of that statistic and hopes that when people do get help, they leave and do not end up relapsing and needing to come back.

Melton appeared as a guest on the Newstalk WTIM Morning Show.
