🧭 Our Programming Journey

Recovery is more than abstaining from substances—it's about rebuilding your life from the inside out. At Crossroads Recovery Community, our strength-based, person-centered program focuses on you—your wellness, environment, relationships, recovery, finances, and future.

Our program is designed in three flexible phases, completed at your own pace. You decide when you’re ready to move forward, supported every step of the way.

🔄 Weekly Growth Expectations

Each resident is required to attend five structured growth opportunities ("commitments") each week. These may include:

• Recovery meetings

• Life skills workshops

• Employment support

• Community engagement

• Our mandatory Saturday morning house meeting (counts as one commitment)
  
  

In addition, we host monthly social and community events that all residents are expected to attend. These help foster connection, fun, and support.

🚦 Phase One: Trust Building

This foundational phase is about safety, support, and connection. We know starting over is hard—you’re not alone here.

🎯 Focus Areas:

• Building trust with staff and peers

• Getting to know your house, neighborhood, and local resources

• Beginning employment and working toward self-sufficiency

• Finding a recovery mentor and a professional support person

• Making 4 recovery-based and 1 non-recovery-based weekly commitments
  
  

🏠 House Expectations:

• Curfew: 9:30 PM

• Weekly program fee: $140

• Basic needs (food, clothes, hygiene) will always be provided—just ask your house guide.
  
  

✅ To Advance to Phase Two:

• Meet weekly commitment expectations

• Set up a payment plan and stay current on fees

• Identify a mentor and professional supporter

• Attend at least one community event

• Show readiness by addressing any negative behaviors
  
  

🌱 Phase Two: Growth & Discovery

In this phase, we focus on uncovering and addressing the why behind behaviors—not just the substance use. Residents start developing deeper emotional and behavioral insight.

🎯 Focus Areas:

• Reduce to 3 recovery and 2 non-recovery weekly commitments

• Address root causes of harmful behavior

• Begin overnight passes (1 allowed per month)

• Monthly curfew: 11:00 PM (on non-overnight days)

• Program fee shifts to $550/month, due on the 1st
  
  

🤝 Peer Leadership:

• Each resident is expected to act as a “Big Brother” to a newer member

• Support others as part of giving back and strengthening your recovery
  
  

✅ To Advance to Phase Three:

• Maintain consistent attendance and community involvement

• Stay current with monthly payments

• Be actively mentoring at least one newer resident

• Demonstrate leadership in behavior and program participation
  
  

🏗️ Phase Three: Building Your New Life

This final phase prepares you for independent living and long-term success. You’ll continue participating in programming while also shifting focus to life skills, planning, and giving back.

🎯 Focus Areas:

• 2 recovery-based + 3 life-building commitments per week
  (e.g., budgeting, job readiness, legal work, communication, banking)

• Up to 3 overnight passes/month (no more than 2 consecutively, all pre-approved)

• You may be nominated as a House Guide, taking on leadership in the community
  
  

🧠 Leadership & Life Skills:

• Serve as a role model within the home

• Lead by example with consistency and positive behavior

• Prepare for discharge with a job, savings, and structured aftercare plan
  
  

✅ Graduation Readiness:

• Fully current on program fees

• Leave on or near the 1st of the month (aligned with monthly payment cycle)

• All behavioral issues addressed and resolved

• Discharge plan includes housing, income, and recovery support
  
  

🎓 What Success Looks Like

Our goal is for every graduate to leave Crossroads:

• With stable employment

• With a safe place to live

• With the confidence and structure to sustain recovery

• As an empowered member of the broader recovery community
