transitional living for people in recovery |

The Crossroads, Inc. provides a safe and healthy environment, food, shelter, and rehabilitative services to men and women who suffer from alcoholism and other chemical dependencies and who are committed to achieving and maintaining sobriety. Additionally, The Crossroads, Inc. strives to be responsive to the needs of the community in developing alcoholism and other chemical dependency related services which are within its capabilities to provide. These recovery services are founded on the concept of human dignity and are based on the tradition and values set forth by twelve step recovery programs. We are committed to living a clean and sober life through education, healing, and social action. More than just a traditional half way house, The Crossroads is focused on a lifetime commitment to its residents and alumni.
THE NEED
 Substance abuse is a strong and deadly symptom of society’s growing dysfunction. Not only does it destroy lives, but it wreaks devastation upon entire families, friends and employers. The cost of alcohol and other substance abuse to society is enormous and pervasive. It can be measured in many economic and societal terms ranging from lost earning power to the growing number of homeless. But the greatest expense is in the loss of spirit, hope and family that accompany this disease. It spares no one, tearing apart families at all levels of our community.
Unfortunately as the need for recovery facilities is growing, the number of recovery options in the Valley is shrinking. The decline in local and federal funding, as well as poor business models, have reduced the options and chances for a person wanting to recover and return to their family, job and community. This puts added importance upon the work being done by The Crossroads’ six facilities and staff.
