The Crossroads Program

The Crossroads Program in St. Louis, Missouri isn’t your typical teen rehab center and honestly, that’s what makes it so special. Since 1982, they’ve been creating a completely different kind of recovery experience, one that’s built around energy, hope and real connection. It’s not just about getting teens and young adults between the ages of 13 and 25 off drugs and alcohol. It’s about showing them a better and more exciting way to live without it.

A Program That Gets Teens, Because It’s Built for Them

What’s really cool about Crossroads is their enthusiastic sobriety approach. It’s not all about rules and lectures, it’s about getting young people pumped about life again. They blend individual counseling, intensive outpatient programs and support groups that actually makes sense for where teens and families are at.

Plus, parents aren't left standing on the sidelines, because they’re offered parent support groups. And honestly, it’s just as much about healing the whole family as it is about helping the individual struggling with substance abuse.

Crossroads understands that teens have their own emotional, social and mental health stuff going on and they built everything around that reality. And the staff? Many of them are actually in recovery themselves and they don’t just talk the talk. They know firsthand what it’s like to be stuck and how powerful real support can be.

Locally Owned and Personally Invested

This isn’t some corporate chain either. Amy Weiland who owns and runs the program, is hands-on every day. She’s been through recovery herself and has spent decades helping young people and families turn their lives around. She’s even helped set up programs in local schools and leads statewide efforts for drug prevention education.
