Eric Clapton's vision
As a recovering alcoholic and addict, Eric Clapton had himself experienced the Caribbean island of Antigua as a safe, serene refuge and thought this an idyllic location for addiction treatment.
"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 recognised 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."
This vision became a reality and Crossroads opened its doors to the world in 1998. Since then it has quickly developed into an internationally recognised Treatment Centre of Excellence, providing services to individuals and their families suffering from the devastating effects of addiction.

Residential addiction treatment programs
Crossroads Centre offers variable lengths of stay ranging from four to six weeks. Programs incorporate a body, mind and spirit approach to recovery, with a Twelve Step model as a foundation for each program, embracing both traditional and holistic treatment elements to create a 'whole person' approach. This is facilitated through the introduction of a number of traditional and complementary therapies, designed to bring the client closer to achieving a balance of body, mind and spirit.
Continuing care is a vital aspect to ongoing recovery. All clients are provided with appropriate referrals and a comprehensive continuing care plan, based on their individual needs as recommended by the clinical team.
