Program Description

Crossroads Foundation is a non-profit, 501(C)(3), organization established in San Diego county in 1957 as the first social model residential program developed specifically for women. The overall goal of the Crossroads Foundation is to provide a safe environment for women whose addiction to drugs and/or alcohol has caused significant impairment in their daily lives.

Using the 12-Step principles of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, we accomplish our goal through the operation of a twenty(20)-bed recovery home, a 3/4 House, and ancillary services. In addition, the Crossroads Foundation strives to reduce the stigma associated with female substance abuse, making it easier for women to come forward and admit that they need help. Crossroads accepts referrals from San Diego County Drug and Alcohol Services, San Diego legal agencies, Las Colinas, community treatment facilities and self-referrals. Open interviews occur on Thurdays between 1pm and 2pm. In order to be considered for admission to the Crossroads Residential Recovery Home, please call (619)296-1151 for information and directions.

Crossroads Foundation Recovery Home

This non-medical, social model Recovery Home provides a safe and sober living environment for women eighteen (18) years and older who need a 24-hour residential program to conquer their addictions and the problems associated with their addiction. Crossroads provides a structured program with recovery services available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with an average length of stay of six (6) to nine (9) months. This four-phase recovery program includes mandatory treatment, recovery and ancillary services, as well as individual and group counseling. Participation in a Twelve Step group, completion of at least the first three steps, and random drug testing are an integral part of the program. While in our program women are expected to engage in the chores of daily living, contribute their share of the program cost, find employment, attend NA and AA meetings, and remain clean and sober at all times. Completion of the Crossroads program requires the resident to be working, preparing for work, or actively seeking employment at the time of discharge.

Crossroads 3/4 House

Phase four and placement at the 3/4 House is a privilege attained only upon completion of the first three steps of the AA 12-Step program, demonstration of full involvement in all aspects of the program, including: serving as a “Big Sister” to newcomers, being employed, in school or looking for work, full payment of rent, attendance at all required meetings, and participation in all house events. Crossroads 3/4 House provides residents an extended period of sober living in which to practice skills they have learned in the Recovery Home. The purpose of this program is to prepare women for complete reintegration in their community and independent sober living. This program serves six women in an apartment-like environment for an average of nine months to a year.
