Residential Programs
We approach treatment from a non-judgmental, holistic
perspective and
encourage clients to take responsibility for their own lives and recovery.
We view our clients as capable adults who are valuable members of our
society and who are quite able to change the direction of their lives. We
do, however, recognize that the recovery process looks different for
everyone. Our goal is to meet the client where they are at on the road to
recovery and provide the tools that they need to move further along this
continuum. We emphasize self-determination, personal responsibility and
encourage our clients to re-write their life stories in a motivational,
supportive environment. Crossroads has various different programs, all of
which are tailored to meet individual client needs.
Residential Treatment Program
We offer a twenty-eight day intensive, residential program for men and
women. The core components of this program are group therapy and
psycho-educational workshops. The first days of treatment are spent in an
Orientation Group. This group is designed to orientate clients to the
treatment experience, answer questions, familiarize clients with the
facility, and generally make them feel comfortable and supported. When
clients are ready, they are moved into small therapy groups for the duration
of their treatment. Our workshops and therapy groups include topics such as:

Regular fitness and relaxation sessions are also
incorporated into the program. In addition to the
workshops, interactive focus groups, and therapy groups, a
strong focus is placed on relapse prevention throughout
the program.
Clients are not permitted to leave the facility during
their first week of treatment. After the first week of
programming, clients have free time and are allowed a day
pass on their second weekend. In the third and fourth
weeks, clients are allowed an overnight pass, depending on
how well they are doing in programming.
The Men's Treatment Centre
and Women's Treatment Centre
are located in separate facilities and the programs are
tailored to address the specific issues relevant to men
and women.
Private Pay Residential Treatment

Crossroads offers fourteen men's and seven women's private beds for individuals
who may not be eligible for a

and family therapy.

Detox –
Withdrawal Management Unit
There are fifteen medically supported withdrawal
management beds. Clients are
seen by a physician on a daily basis. Medical protocols
and standing orders are provided to clients requiring
medications to manage withdrawal symptoms.
Typically, a client will spend between 5 and 10 days in
Detox, depending on what
substance they are withdrawing from. Our Detox facility
is clean, comfortable and
supportive. Detox is covered under M.S.P. for British
Columbia residents.
Private Pay beds are now available in our Detox at a
rate of $250/day.
Supportive Living Program
Currently we have twenty-two supportive
living beds for men in seven apartments (three per unit).
We also have three beds for women in an apartment. Clients may stay
in this Supportive Living Program for up to one year.
During this time, clients participate in volunteer work,
schooling or job readiness training. There is a curfew
in place and clients attend regular therapy and group
sessions that are offered.
Clients are expected to stay free from illicit drugs
and/or alcohol, participate in relapse prevention
planning and attend support groups. Clients in this
program need to be committed to making a lifestyle
change in a supportive environment.
