About Crossroads Centre
Crossroads Centre (Crossroads) is a recovery home for addictions and has been providing care since 1965. Crossroads voluntarily joined St. Joseph's Care Group on April 1, 2024 to expand care for people on their recovery journeys.
Crossroads is a 20-bed live-in recovery home for adults aged 18 and older. We offer pre-treatment and post-treatment recovery services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are no fees and services are voluntary.
Traditional healing, counselling services, and cultural supports are available and provided by N'doo'owe Binesi's Indigenous Health Team.
Crossroads Programs
Addictions Pre-Treatment
Pre-treatment services are for people who are planning to attend live-in treatment or have a confirmed treatment date. These services focus on stabilization, emotional and physical wellness, peer support, and resources for adjusting to a structured daily routine.
Addictions Post-Treatment
Post-treatment services are longer-term for people who have completed a live-in treatment program within the last year. These services encourage people to build upon the skills and insights they learned from treatment as part of their daily living.
Transition Planning
We help you prepare for life after Crossroads by focusing on transition planning, relapse prevention, coping skills, and connecting you with ongoing community supports.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide withdrawal management (detox) services?
No, we do not provide on-site withdrawal management. We will support you to access Withdrawal Management Services if needed prior to admission.
Are you a treatment program? What is the difference between Crossroads and treatment?
We are a recovery home that provides abstinence-based services before and after treatment. Our program provides individual and group programming prior to attending or after completing a treatment program.
How long can I expect to stay at Crossroads?
The length of time you spend with us will be determined by your personal treatment plan. Depending on when you are scheduled to attend treatment, pre-treatment can range from 1 to 4 weeks. Post-treatment support is based on your individual recovery goals, with most stays ranging from 1 to 3 months.
How long is the wait list?
The length of wait time for services varies, and a bed can become available at any time.
Is there a cost to attend Crossroads?
No, we are fully funded by the Ministry of Health and there is no cost for our services, accommodation or meals. You are responsible for any personal items and purchases not related to what is covered by the program (ex. toiletries, clothing, etc.)
What medications can I bring with me?
Certain prescription and over the counter medications and products are not allowed at Crossroads. We will review this information with you during the intake process, and again prior to admission.
We do allow methadone and suboxone. These medications are administered off-site and you must go daily to the pharmacy or prescribing clinic for administration.
You are required to have 4 weeks of prescriptions for any medications upon admission. We will arrange to have your prescriptions transferred to our pharmacy if this is different than your current pharmacy.
With the exception of creams or ointments, do not bring open medication, prescription or over-the counter medications, as these cannot be administered.
What electronics can I bring with me?
Cell phones are allowed with restrictions. Laptops, tablets and other electronics will be secured and returned for use off-site, or for specific purposes related to your recovery goals only.
