History Of Crossroads Centre, Of Antigua

A letter from our founder, Mr. Eric Clapton

For many years I have visited Antigua, the beautiful Caribbean island located in the heart of the West Indies. Antigua has always been a special refuge – a safe place, a serene place where one can begin the process of healing from even the most devastating events and life situations.

As a recovering addict and alcoholic, many people over the years spoke with me about the problems associated with drug and alcohol abuse on the island. Subsequently, around 1993, I began to speak with more and more people about the possibility of founding a Centre on the island for the treatment of drug and alcohol addiction. There was certainly a need, and so the dream and the vision were born.

My vision was to create a Centre of the highest caliber to treat people of the Caribbean and throughout the world. The Centre would be staffed with experienced and internationally recognized professionals. The cost of treatment would be held to the lowest possible level, ensuring affordability and accessibility. And most importantly, this non-profit Centre would provide treatment scholarships for people of the Caribbean region and around the world.

Well, this vision became a reality and Crossroads opened its doors to the world in 1998. Since then it has quickly developed into an internationally recognized Treatment Centre of Excellence, providing services to individuals and their families suffering from the devastating effects of addiction.

Crossroads is like no other Treatment Centre. It is the perfect place to begin the road of recovery and utilizes a combination of effective therapies to address addiction and recovery, while capturing the spiritual serenity that many have found unique to Antigua. Within the serene, healing atmosphere individuals participate in a structured 29-day residential 12 step based program that allows clients to experience a whole person wellness approach to recovery.

We believe that the majority of individuals suffering from addiction have the capacity for recovery if given the proper foundation to begin their journey. At Crossroads we help provide that foundation.

Sincerely,

Eric Clapton

We provide a safe, supportive environment to explore various issues with an emphasis on creating balance in one’s life. Through staff facilitation and group interaction, participants experience a powerful week of self awareness and rediscovery.

All of our recovery retreats are founded in the Twelve Steps as well as the Crossroads Centre whole person approach to recovery. This means that in addition to Twelve Step studies, lectures, facilitated group discussions and individual assignments, participants are introduced to complementary therapies such as: yoga, fitness activities, meditation, and massage therapy. Our recovery retreats, while providing an opportunity for intensive self-discovery and awareness, also combine off -site activities unique to Antigua to make for an enriched experience. As our participants know only too well, Antigua is the perfect place to continue the journey of recovery.

Reinvent Your Recovery Recovery is about more than just abstinence or sobriety.

Through lectures, small group sessions and various complementary therapies, we will help participants reinvent their recovery experience into something that is dynamic and vibrant.

Treatment of Co-occurring Disorders « Holistic Lifestyles Radio

Treatment of Co-occurring Disorders

by Holistic Lifestyles Radio on Nov.28, 2010, under Home

Academy for Addiction Professionals

Co-occurring disorders, also called dual diagnosis is a highly specialized treatment that focuses on the addiction as well as any underlying mental illness conditions. Since drug addiction is a psychological disease, it often leads to mental disorders and psychological issues. Similarly mental issues may well lead to addiction and substance abuse problems. Some studies have shown that up to six in 10 people that have substance abuse problems also suffer from another psychological disorder. Interestingly, these rates are similar to the rates of mental illness in people who use larger quantities of legal drugs such as tobacco and alcohol.

It is of utmost importance that individuals with co-occurring disorders seek specialized treatment that address both the substance abuse issues and mental illness as one can be a trigger for the other. These specialized centers, of which Destination Hope is one, treat the dual problem by addressing both issues simultaneously allowing the addict to cope with each of them with long-term success.
