Choosing the right substance abuse program can feel overwhelming. You may wonder if a program will truly understand your situation or provide the support you need. Crossroads Treatment Centers recognizes how heavy those questions weigh. Let us walk through what to look for in a program and how to find one that fits your unique needs without judgment or pressure.
What Makes a Substance Abuse Program Effective?
A good substance abuse program does more than treat addiction; it treats you. Look for programs that combine medication-based recovery support with counseling and peer support.
Medication-based recovery support uses FDA-approved medications like Suboxone or Methadone to ease withdrawal and craving. Meanwhile, therapy addresses the root causes of addiction, like trauma or stress.
At Crossroads, our substance abuse programs focus on alcohol and opioid addiction, including addiction to drugs such as Fentanyl, Heroin and prescription painkillers. Our CARF accreditation, the highest recognition in addiction treatment, means we meet strict safety, transparency and quality standards.
Outpatient Treatment: Flexibility without Sacrificing Care
Outpatient programs provide treatment while allowing you to continue with work, school or family responsibilities. Many people find this approach more manageable than inpatient treatment.
Crossroads offers outpatient programs at over 100 locations across nine states. Our clinics work to accommodate busy schedules. We also provide virtual appointments through Instant Intake® so you can start treatment with a same-call, virtual visit.
Questions to Ask When Choosing a Program
Here are three questions to guide your decision:
Does the program accept my insurance?
We work with Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE and most commercial insurers. If you are uninsured, ask about self-pay options or grants.
What support services are included?
Recovery is not just about medication. Look for programs that offer counseling, peer support and help with unmet needs like housing or transportation. At Crossroads, every patient works with a care coordinator to connect them with community resources.
Is the program accredited?
CARF accreditation means a clinic meets rigorous quality standards, reflecting our commitment to excellence in opioid addiction treatment.
Why Crossroads Stands Out
We have spent nearly 20 years refining our approach to substance abuse programs. Here is what sets us apart:
- Same-Day Appointments: Long waits can derail recovery. With Instant Intake®, you can start treatment the day you call.
- Personalized Care: Every recovery is unique. Our doctors and counselors create personalized plans based on your history, goals and lifestyle.
- Judgment-Free Support: Addiction is a medical condition, not a personal weakness. Our clinics are safe places where you can focus on getting better.
