This public event will be held on May 20, 2014 at 2:00pm. If you'd like to attend, please RSVP to Mary at 207-667-6108 or email by May 9th. Crossroads is holding it inaugural Community Awards Breakfast on May 21, 2014 at the Embassy Suites in Portland.

Crossroads Has Openings in its Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for Women in Scarborough
Crossroads has immediate openings in its Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for women at its Greater Portland Counseling Center in Scarborough. IOP often provides the structure many people need in the first stage of recovery from alcohol and/or drug addiction. It may also serve as aftercare treatment for those who are coming out of a residential rehab setting.
Gender-specific treatment issues are explored in this women-only IOP with an emphasis on addiction education, co-occurring mental health issues, coping skills, relapse prevention and the necessary tools for recovery. Total length of treatment varies, but is typically around 6 - 8 weeks.

In her vlog for April 2014, Shannon talks about Crossroads' innovative and unique Children And Mothers Program (CAMP). CAMP is the only program in Maine that provides on-site living arrangements to minor children of mothers in residential treatment for drug or alcohol addiction.
The program is housed at the Boulton Center for Women and Children in Windham. In order to be eligible, women must be pregnant, have children aged 5 or under, or working on family reunification. As Shannon describes in the video, this program boasts a very high treatment completion rate.

Saying Farewell to Chuck Schneider
It is with mixed emotion that we announce the retirement of Chuck Schneider, LCSW, C-CATODSW. Chuck has been a counselor for over a decade. With expertise in substance abuse and trauma counseling, he has used what he describes as an open approach with clients. Chuck has been an invaluable member of the Crossroads clinical team for the past since 2011, providing individual counseling in both the Kennebunk and Scarborough offices. He co-facilitated Crossroads' first Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for men and provided invaluable training and expertise in working with veterans. We wish Chuck the best of luck in retirement. He will be missed by clients and staff alike.

From Our Blog
Crossroads 2014 Annual Giving Campaign: Together We Will Save Lives Crossroads saves lives. This powerful and compelling statement came up several times when our board of directors gathered for their annual retreat, as they paused to reflect on their reasons for dedicating their time and efforts to volunteer for the organization. Our generous supporters helped provide aid to 886 women and men who came through Crossroads' doors to receive life saving treatment last year. It is this support and commitment that allows more women and men the opportunity to learn the tools needed to lead a healthy life. Your support is making the difference. This year we are raising funds for the newly created Barbara L. Dacri Scholarship Fund. 100% of the proceeds of this fund go directly to clients needing assistance to pay for treatment...Read More |
