Gateway Sober Living Environment

Gateway is your typical SLE. They want your money. If you’re an attractive girl, every male will put the moves on you if you don’t assert yourself. Yes people are relapsing and they get away with it if they are politically connected with the «power» people in the house. You have to realize that most of the time, the owners are absent, collecting rents and the house managers keep beds full, keep the cash flowing in and keep the business humming. They don’t really care about you but they will make you stay sober or you’re out. I lived at Gateway and it was pretty bad but frankly, I’ve seen worse of SLE’s. But again, the mix up of people changes constantly and you never know what you’ll get in 2 weeks, 2 months or 2 years. It’s a moving target. So, if you live here, save your money and be ready for anything to happen. Who knows, the house could be sold next week. San Fran real estate goes fast and you’ll be out of a roof over your head in 30 days and you might lose your job and life because of it. John Wiles, Marc Lajoie are compulsive liars. They only care about your money and how you fit into their scheme.

At both (menlo park and diamond heights) the current district manager was my house manager and ran a fun, loving, safe house.
Gateway works hard to help addicts who are just out of rehab get the care and support only fellow recovering addicts can give.
