Alliance Health Center

Alliance Health Center – The Crossings Residential Center is a behavioral health treatment center in Meridian, Missouri. They provide residential treatment for boys aged 12 through 17 who have committed a sexual offense or have a conduct disorder.

This is a gender specific program that helps young boys heal. They’ll participate in a minimum of three group therapy sessions per week with individual therapy once a week. This program generally lasts three to six months, but depends on an individualized treatment plan. Some patients in the sexually aggressive treatment program stay for eight months. Treatment programming includes elements like substance abuse groups, physical and sexual abuse groups, and recreational activities. Daily education classes, GED preparation, and special education courses are an important part of treatment.

The goal of treatment is to establish a continued plan of recovery after discharge. A separate case management department will help with discharge planning and referrals to other agencies.

Former patients and family members say that they disliked the staff’s treatment of the kids at Crossings. Other people mention there are a few kind staff members.
