About Crossroads Mission – Yuma
Crossroads Mission and First Step Center is located in Yuma, Arizona. It’s a Christian based homeless shelter and drug and alcohol addiction rehabilitation facility. They’ve been helping people in and around the Yuma area for 65 years and they’re recognized as a provider for the State of Arizona through Arizona Complete Health Regional Behavioral Health Authority.
On top of their emergency shelter and free meals program, they have a drug and alcohol stabilization/detox program as well as additional drug and alcohol treatment programs. They also offer adult education and transitional living services.
The First Step Center provides you with a safe environment to detox and stabilize from drug and or alcohol abuse that’s monitored 24/7 by certified emergency medical technicians. Upon admission, you’ll have a vital signs protocol and chemical institution withdrawal assessment, regular screening, observation, and case management.
Stays here can last up to 10 days and they’ll help you prepare to go through the Crossroads Mission New Life Recovery Program, or for more treatment within the community.
New Life is a 120 day residential inpatient program led and supervised by licensed counselors who meet state requirements as behavioral health professionals, and all other staff members have several hours of training throughout the year. Here, they believe that people who find or look to a higher power have better results.
They also focus on uniting and reuniting families. Family members are always encouraged to join in counseling sessions and they provide referrals if treatment is needed that’s above the scope of what they can offer.
Former patients here have said this place helped them with a lot of things and the people who work there are great, they were super helpful during a very hard time in life, and they don’t require that you take up Christian-themed programs.
