To restore a sense of normalcy, self-reliance and hope
to adult men and women recovering from chemical dependency
and/or compulsive gambling by providing affordable housing,
support, and therapeutic services in a home-like setting.
Primary treatment for this disease is emotionally draining and
often leaves the individual feeling frightened and unsure of
where to go upon discharge. For many, returning to the same
environment would be far too threatening for their recovery,
so they look for a safe, supportive place to live - a place
where they can learn to cope with life and its complexities
while remaining abstinent of their addiction.
Crossroads offers a low-structured program
of individual, family, and group counseling in a home-like
atmosphere.
The focus is to build self-esteem and restore those areas
of life that have been adversely affected by the disease.
The desired outcome is a lifestyle free from addiction and
anchored in the serenity of believing in one's self.
Our goal is to help residents attain the necessary coping skills
to live a productive life, and to:
- Assist residents in seeking employment
or continued education.
- Guide development of financial responsibility.
- Teach effective communication skills.
- Encourage self-reliance and the belief
in one's own abilities.
