kimgbea Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Looking for any info on a place called At The Crossroads, it is in St. George Utah and we are thinking about sending our son there. We have just found out in the past month after he was arrested that he had a problem. I guess deep down inside we knew but just didn;t accept. He now is in alot of trouble and we are worried sick..He just finished a 28 day treatment center and is doing very well but the court system is insisting on a longer extended treatment center..Any advice?

dazed-and-confused Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 before i was LDS, i went to a place in arizona called, the meadows, after which it was strongly recomended that i go to a half-way house, which i didn't do due to financial concerns. there is also sierra tucson, in catalina, just north of tucson, az. is a half-way house an option? could the center that you son went to recommend one to you?

dazed-and-confused Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 i just pulled up the site for the crossroads. just wondering, why was this one chosen and what if any after-care is there? the courts may want a more "typical" in-house treatment program. i get the imression that crossrads is not an in-house treatment program.

Danite Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Is the judge saying he has to go to long term treatment or go to jail? Long term treatment with good follow up supports like AA and NA are best to prevent relaspe which is almost always happens with kids.Also depends on his level of addiction drugs like Cocain and opates some times take many etempts to break the cycle.

annewandering Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Walker Center is very intense and supportive too. Might consider that if you have one anywhere around there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
