I am looking for some help for drug and alcohol addiction, and I have been looking at Crossroads Centre and Brighton Hospital. Can you give me more information about he drug and alcohol addiction treatment and rehab programs at Crossroads Center and Brighton Hospital?

First of all, we’d like to say that whether you are seeking help for yourself or a loved one, that you should be commended for seeking help for drug and alcohol rehab. We can certainly provide you more information; let’s start with Crossroads Centre.

The Crossroads Centre was founded to provide the highest quality of both inpatient and outpatient drug and alcohol rehab programs. The drug and alcohol addiction treatment programs at Crossroads Centre is based upon the 12 steps foundation program. The Crossroads Centre was founded by Eric Clapton in the location of Antigua to provide a distraction-free sanctuary for drug and alcohol addiction recovery.

The Crossroads Centre integrates complementary addiction treatment modalities in custom and personalize treatment programs designed with two goals in mind: one is recovery and abstinence from drugs and alcohol addiction; two is positive lifestyle changes. The sanctuary location of Antigua is away from the busy everyday life and is great for the intensely therapeutic yet supportive location to help bring about alcohol and drug rehab.

The foundations of the 12 step program at Crossroads Centre is combined with world class medical, psychological, clinical, and psychiatric programs to provide a comprehensive and effective drug and alcohol rehab program. The overall addiction treatment program at Crossroads Centre comes in four phases:

Phase One. The initial phase before any drug addiction treatment or rehab can occur is detox. The medical staff and doctors at Crossroads Centre will work with the patient to remove the addictive substances and purify the body. The Crossroads Centre medical staff is ready to intervene with medications when appropriate and necessary. Crossroads Centre also provides patients with stress relief and toxin removal during the detoxification process with massage therapy, hydrotherapy, and acupuncture.

Phase Two. The next phase from the drug and alcohol addiction treatment program at Crossroads Centre is the actual rehab phase. The medical staff and doctors will have assessed the individual needs of the patient and have created a custom and personalized treatment plan to address all those needs. The patient at Crossroads Centre will also identify and explore personal roadblocks or self-destructive behaviors in aid in the recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.

Phase Three. The next phase for Crossroads Centre after the intensive treatment and rehab phase is to plan the discharge and the care after discharge. All patients will receive assessment and a comprehensive aftercare plan, taking into accounts recommendations from the in house staff as well as the personal needs of the patient. These comprehensive aftercare plans from Crossroads Centre could involve halfway houses, outpatient treatments, group therapies, aftercare communities, transitional living, and psychiatric visits. Patients are also encouraged to continue to attend 12 step programs after discharge to continue recovery as well as help others.

Phase Four. After the drug and alcohol rehab treatment programs have ended, Crossroads Centre will continue to support their patients with timely follow ups. Crossroads Centre will provide additional services or support in sobriety and recovery should they be needed. Some Crossroads Centre alumni even choose to give back to the recovery community by volunteering, contributing to the newspaper, or participating in alumni events.
