The Crossroads Foundation

nent judges, attorneys and civic leaders, Crossroads is the first women’s residential recovery program in San Diego County and the second oldest in California. Crossroads is a State of California certified and licensed alcohol and drug program with a long and successful record of serving women in recovery. Positive long-term outcomes have been experienced by hundreds of women served by the Crossroads residential recovery program (or, the Crossroads program). The need for a proven recovery program

Most public health officials agree that dependence on alcohol and drugs is a serious national public health problem affecting millions of women. Most of these women have families who suffer the consequences of living with their addiction. It is prevalent among rich and poor and all ethnic and social groups. Alcohol and drug dependency worsens over time, causing damage to the addicted woman, her immediate family and friends. Women who are dependent on alcohol or drugs fight a downward spiraling struggle against loneliness, rejection, self-loathing and discouragement. A powerful intervention with immeasurable benefits

Crossroads offers women who are addicted to alcohol or drugs a proven opportunity to rebuild their self-respect, dignity and productivity by regaining their physical and emotional health through sobriety. The benefit is immeasurable to family, friends and community when recovering alcohol- and drug-addicted women return to their homes, families, neighborhood and employment as productive individuals. Joining together with other women in recovery provides a powerful foundation for committing and re-establishing themselves as sober, self-respecting members of society. A woman’s desire and commitment to become a sober, productive and contributing member of the community must be a primary goal. The willingness to understand the nature of addiction is an important factor in laying the groundwork for a woman’s successful recovery. All women in need of recovery are welcome

Women from all circumstances are welcome at Crossroads – housewives, mothers, community leaders, professionals, office workers, service workers, young, old, single, married. Any woman who is chemically dependent can find help at Crossroads in her struggle against addiction. Crossroads is an inclusive program – every woman without regard to ethnicity, age, marital status, religion or sexual orientation may become a participant. Requirements for participation

A woman’s residency at Crossroads is required and is confidential. No woman is refused admission due to financial hardship or inability to pay, but each person is required to undertake a financial commitment for the cost of her recovery. The cost of services is kept minimal due to funding from government sources, private donors and other revenue. Crossroads is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation partially funded by the County of San Diego. Comprehensive services designed to help

Crossroads provides a comprehensive range of individualized, high-quality services designed to help the women we serve. These services include individual therapy, group therapy, mental health counseling, health screening, dental care, sexual trauma/domestic violence support, relapse prevention and outpatient support. Programs and activities at Crossroads minimize relapse, at-risk behaviors and health issues that affect women in recovery.
