Crossroads recovery center Johannesburg

Crossroads recovery center as a structured institution that deals with treating addiction in all its aspects, and housing close to about 24 inpatients seeking relief from a destructive illness – has a team of qualified and highly trained therapists, providing their expertise and knowledge in the field of addiction, treatment and recovery. The main priority and primary focus is in helping individuals overcome addiction through a therapeutic day, in groups, reading and written work is expected from clients in their participation.
Clients are also tasked with duties, as a form of taking responsibility,,, within this process Clients disruptive behaviors are exposed and through holding groups for such incidents and allowing housemates to give feedback- Clients are then made aware of their falling short and possibilities of relapse.

Whether the client admits to having a problematic addiction crisis or not, our team of Counsellor’s, social worker and house managers don’t shy away from addressing relapse concerns to clients and even their significant others.
How we as crossroads recovery center Johannesburg address relapse concerns with clients family members is not just in one single manner but in a variety of ways, such as in family information session, where clients family members are invited by Counsellor’s of clients and in this session family members are made aware of daily programs taking place in the center and also clients behaviors such as excuses and manipulation is addressed, because those are also behaviors that lead to Relapse.
We as crossroads do not claim to change lives we put in the work and let our clients progress and success in recovery tell the story of our success cases, but however in family information sessions, families are made aware that relapse is a possibility more especially with difficult clients who come to rehab for every other reason except wanting change.
By pointing out concerning behaviors, we somehow teach families to recognize the red flags, alarming behaviors so when relapse happens they can take other necessary steps such as tough love, none enabling and not protecting the clients disease because to baby the addict is to bury the addict.
Even after our clients have long completed their program at crossroads, as Counsellor’s we still suggest that clients come back for follow up sessions, were we have one on ones with our ex clients, get to know were their at in their recovery are they working the program of recovery on the outside and we also conduct regular drug testing whenever they stop by our center for follow up and we have seen how these who have relapsed don’t even make it back for follow up sessions, but however as a team of dedicated addiction Counsellors, social workers and house managers we do not give up on our clients, but those who have relapsed give up on accepting our help.
To also help clients practice responsibility and being accountable, during their exit day we have them fill up an exit plan contract, were clients in the presence of their significant other’s acknowledge the need to participating in their recovery on the outside, accept to go to recovery meetings, regular drug testing and Resisting to be tested to be considered as a relapse, because overall a clean recovering addict with have no problem in being tested for they know they have not used, but one who has picked up will have every reason to try and invade testing.
The contract is signed by both client and significant other during the exit session.
We as crossroads recovery center Johannesburg stuff have also experienced the horrors of addiction and also the freedom that comes with recovery which we still experience, this freedom as our reality today, so we know about relapse, signs and its traumatizing outcomes, so we do all we must do to inform people by all means, that includes our clients, ex clients, outpatient clients families of clients and the general public. We serve passionately.
