Crossroads Treatment Center Asheville

Medication-Based Treatment

Crossroads offers a range of FDA-approved medications for addiction treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorders and co-occurring conditions such as alcohol use disorder. The clinical team assesses each person individually to determine which medications will work best, taking into account their personal health history and treatment goals. The right medication depends on each person’s specific situation and may be administered every day, week, or month. Treatment options may include Methadone, oral buprenorphine like Subutex or Suboxone, or long-acting injectable medications like Sublocade, Brixadi, or Vivitrol. “Patients are seen frequently — especially early in treatment — to provide strong support when it matters most.” — Crossroads Chief Medical Officer, Dr. James Stephen

Counseling and Peer Support

Depending on the center location, Crossroads offers comprehensive counseling and peer support services alongside medication management. The care team pays close attention to how substance use may correlate to co-occurring mental health conditions. Counseling sessions can be arranged in person or virtually and adapted to individual needs. Group counseling is also available. These sessions are designed to help build coping skills, maintain motivation, and support long-term recovery. Peer support is led by staff who are in recovery and who can connect with clients regarding shared-lived experiences. “Our care is personalized, compassionate, and built on partnership — because lasting recovery happens when people feel supported and understood.” — Crossroads Chief Medical Officer, Dr. James Stephen

Working with a Multidisciplinary Team

Nurses, counselors, care managers, medical providers, peer recovery coaches, and patient ambassadors collaborate to ensure clients’ needs are met. Clients frequently see the same team members throughout treatment, which helps build trusting relationships and provides stability during the recovery journey. During the first visit to Crossroads, the care team takes time to get to know each client and conducts detailed assessments. They will explain every step of the process so clients feel comfortable with their care plan and medication schedule.

Instant, Accessible Care

Crossroads focuses on helping people get the care they need in a fast, accessible way. In certain states, clients can connect to care via Crossroads’ Instant Intake program, which provides same-day virtual appointments to begin the intake process right away. During the initial call, the care team will verify client information, evaluate the client and, if appropriate, send a prescription to their preferred pharmacy for pickup. The care team will follow up within seven days and answer questions so clients can start treatment quickly. “Our model is designed to be flexible, low-barrier, and centered on helping patients succeed.” — Crossroads Chief Medical Officer, Dr. James Stephen

Help with Practical Needs

Assistance is provided to people who are facing unstable housing situations or employment challenges. Care coordinators partner with community services to connect clients to needed resources. People can also be directed to information for finding free or reduced-cost food, housing assistance, employment services, or other community support programs.
