About The Crossroads Program

If you need alcohol and drug rehab services then you can visit The Crossroads Program in Kansas City, Missouri. The facility specializes in helping teens and young adults recover from addiction problems. The treatment services available include an intensive outpatient program, support groups, individual counseling and speaking engagements.

Treatment That Relates to the Youth

The intensive outpatient program provides teens and young adults with six to 12 weeks of treatment. With helping young clients, the staff focuses on the importance of developing a positive support system, building and maintaining self worth, and how to have fun without using substances. Some fun activities that teens and young adults can enjoy in Kansas City include going to the Worlds of Fun theme park or visiting the Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium.

I also like that the facility touches on other topics related to teens and young adults, such as social media and recovery, along with repairing trust within parent relationships. The program also includes a parent support group to help parents know how to support their loved ones and cope with their child’s substance use challenges.

Addiction Education in the Community

One of the services I like most that The Crossroads Program provides is their Speaking Engagements service. A substance abuse counselor can provide a presentation to teens that meets them at their level and helps them understand the reality of drug use.

The presentation engages the students in a conversation about drugs and their consequences while also adding a little humor to maintain their attention. Schools, churches and other groups working with teens can receive these services.

Crossroads is a program based on the principles of the 12 steps adapted from AA. You will hear talk of miracles, because we do witness miraculous changes in the attitudes and practices of our members (both young people & parents). There is a miracle for you here too!

This is the place to go! It is a place where kids feel like they can be respected and treated like a human, not a problem. The level of positivity here allows them to be themselves and buy in to a way of life that works and gives them success. They get to learn how to be in this world and know their worth and value. Not only is it life-changing for the kids, but for the parents as well. The whole family stands to level up when going to Crossroads!

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

The Crossroads Program works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Rehab aftercare programs offer continuing care for clients in the maintenance phase of recovery and are designed to evolve over time. Outpatient treatment is generally categorized as drug rehab aftercare, but many clients continue to receive services after being discharged from formal care. These services are customized to clients' unique recovery goals, but typically include medical, mental health, and social services. Clients' case manager and recovery team play a key role in developing the client's care plan.

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Medical detox is the process of ridding the body of addictive substances under the supervision of licensed medical professionals. An expert medical team, which may include physicians, nurses, clinical staff, and therapists, will monitor your vitals, help maximize your comfort and safety, and provide medication if necessary to help mitigate the symptoms of withdrawal. The length of the process varies depending on your needs.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in Missouri usually involves several phases: detox, rehab, and aftercare. The rehab phase may include a combination of inpatient and outpatient treatments, as the individual moves through a continuum of care on their recovery journey.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.

Clinical Services

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members. Group sessions take place for four hours, five days a week.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

The goal of cognitive behavioral therapy in Missouri is to help clients change their thinking and behavioral patterns. Strategies of treatment include role playing, facing fears, and calming techniques.

A complete course of dialectical behavior therapy typically takes six months. Skills training happens in a group setting. You'll also attend weekly individual treatment sessions to receive coaching from a therapist. You'll work on understanding and accepting your feelings and learn how to manage them to make positive changes.

The Crossroads Program is the creme of the crop. I've watched it save countless lives, including my own. The outpatient treatment is top-notch; the counselors there have an uncanny ability for setting up an environment where people feel safe to open up. Unlike many other treatments, they offer a long-running support group that gives people the opportunity to learn how to be in the real-world after treatment while having a safety net of counselors and fellow friends-in-recovery to lean on as they adjust. It's also fun as hell. I don't know where I'd be without this place.

Response from the owner

I don’t know what we would have done without Crossroads. Our teenage son started using in middle school - abusing his prescription ADHD meds, overdosing on cold medicine, stealing our credit cards to purchase gummies through the mail, and spending every free moment, trying to figure out how to get high again. We found Crossroads through a recommendation from an addiction therapist, and we will be forever grateful. We didn’t want to traumatize him with a scary hospital stay or an institution that broke him down - our son already had such low self-esteem and low motivation. We wanted something to build him up and teach him how to live in the real world without needing to be high. The connections and friendships he developed at Crossroads on the very first day continue to be the key to his sobriety. He is never alone, and thanks to the weekly parent meetings, neither are we. Our anxiety has been replaced with hope because we are an active part of his success. We get weekly check ins and weekly meetings so we can support him at home when he’s not with kids and counselors from the program. The twinkle has returned to our son’s eyes because he’s been loved and supported from day one. He has friends and a sponsor and an entire safety net to catch him if he ever falls. Crossroads gives everyone a positive path forward that they call “enthusiastic sobriety”! The counselors and staff all know what they’re doing because they’ve been through this too. If you’re searching for a treatment plan for your son or daughter, consider the loving arms and daily hugs from Crossroads!

Response from the owner
Ashley, thank you for sharing such a heartfelt review! It means so much to hear that our teen addiction treatment program helped your son rediscover hope, build meaningful connections, and find the support system he needed to thrive in recovery. We're so honored to be part of your family's journey and wish your son continued success in his path of enthusiastic sobriety. Wishing you and your son nothing but the best!

Crossroads helped me create a solid foundation for my recovery. Getting sober at a young age can be scary because you often wonder, “How will I ever have fun again?” Crossroads taught me how to be myself, enjoy life, and have fun while staying clean. The staff truly cares about each member’s well-being and provides a supportive environment for recovery. I’m grateful to say I got my life back and am achieving my goals today thanks to this program.

I went to Crossroads my senior year of high school, and it ended up being the most transformative experience I've ever had. The counselors were incredibly empathetic, supportive, and genuinely cared about helping me succeed. Like any program, you get out of it what you put into it. If you come in open-minded and willing to put in the work, it can really change your life. I got sober at 17 in Crossroads, and last fall I celebrated 10 years at 28. The foundation of my recovery was built at Crossroads. I’ll always be grateful to this program and the staff for helping me change my life. If you’re considering going, I highly recommend at least giving it a chance. It could end up being the best decision you ever make!
