PHILOSOPHY
We believe that alcoholism, chemical dependency and compulsive addictive behaviours are chronic, progressive and treatable diseases.
At Crossroads Centre, Antigua we believe that addiction is a loss of control of oneself to a substance, person, or process, as evidenced by physical, mental, and spiritual unmanageability. We believe that alcoholism and chemical dependency are chronic, progressive and treatable diseases. The pathway to recovery is founded on the achievement of two primary goals:
1. Abstinence from alcohol and drugs and other compulsive addictive behaviours.
2. Movement towards a change in lifestyle.
MISSION
The Mission of Crossroads Centre Antigua is to provide treatment and education to the chemically dependent person, their families and significant others. Treatment is provided through Residential Care, Family and Aftercare Programs.
The goals of this treatment are to:
- Assist each client in achieving abstinence and recovery from all mood-altering drugs.
- Educate and treat each client on the disease of addiction within a safe, confidential, and medically supervised therapeutic milieu.
- Assist each client in improving the quality of his or her relationships, careers, social, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being.
- Assist family members and significant others in understanding the disease of addiction and the steps necessary to achieve ongoing recovery.
