ABOUT THE CROSSROADS CENTER
Founded in 1976, the Crossroads Center is a nonprofit agency that provides substance use and mental health treatment services to individuals living in Cincinnati and Hamilton County, Ohio. Substance use services consist of residential and outpatient services for adults, and outpatient services for adolescents aged 12 to 18.
The center does not provide a traditional, inpatient medical detox program, but it does offer buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone programs in both a detox setting and maintenance doses for individuals struggling with addiction to narcotics.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
The adult residential care (ARC) program is intended as a short-term measure only, though the precise length of treatment varies according to the client’s needs. The center is a non-medical community for men and women aged 18+, and includes crisis intervention services; individual, group, and family counseling; case management; drug screenings; and medical services. The program accepts dually diagnosed individuals and those involved in the legal system, aiming to break the re-offending cycle by treating their mental and behavioral health disorders.
Once residential clients are ready, they progress to an intensive outpatient program (IOP) that meets for three hours, three days per week. The center’s IOP and general outpatient programs offer similar modalities to residential treatment. The outpatient-based programs have dual diagnosis options and treatment tracks for process addictions such as gambling addiction.
The Chaney Allen Program offers culturally-sensitive residential and outpatient treatment for women, especially those who are pregnant and have dependent children. In addition to therapy, the program offers life skills training and specialized courses on trauma, neglect, and other frequently arising topics. Two children under the age of five may live with their mothers during treatment, and the facility provides state-licensed childcare for them, enabling their mothers to focus on their recovery.
The family-centric Adolescent Outpatient Program serves teens ages 12 to 18. Depending on a teen’s specific needs, treatment — consisting of assessments and individual and group sessions — may take place at home, in school, or on-site at the facility.
