The Crossroads Centre Antigua Mission
At Crossroads Centre Antigua, we help our clients to start a journey toward a life free from the devastating effects of alcohol and other drug dependencies.
Founded by music legend Eric Clapton, Crossroads Centre Antigua offers a therapeutic, supportive and safe environment, away from the confusion of life in addiction, on the beautiful island of Antigua.
Since 1998, we have been committed to providing treatment of the highest quality that is affordable to all. Our programs are based on the 12-Step model of treatment, supporting the dignity of individuals and their families who have suffered the effects of alcohol and other drug addictions.
Our Philosophy
At Crossroads Centre Antigua, we view addiction as a compulsive dependence on alcohol, substances, people or behaviors, despite harmful consequences. Addiction is a condition that is progressive unless it is properly treated, and our model of treatment is a proven method that works. We believe there are two core goals necessary for success:
A commitment to abstinence from alcohol, drugs and self-harming behaviors.
A change in lifestyle that supports abstinence and promotes personal growth in recovery.
All members of the Crossroads Antigua staff are dedicated to helping each of our clients to achieve both of these goals.
A Letter from Eric Clapton
For many years I have visited Antigua, the beautiful Caribbean island located in the heart of the West Indies. Antigua has always been a special refuge – a safe place, a serene place where one can begin the process of healing from even the most devastating events and life situations.
As a recovering addict and alcoholic, many people over the years spoke with me about the problems associated with drug and alcohol abuse on the island. Subsequently, around 1993, I began to speak with more and more people about the possibility of founding a Centre on the island for the treatment of drug and alcohol addiction. There was certainly a need, and so the dream and the vision were born.
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 recognized 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.
Well, this vision became a reality and Crossroads opened its doors to the world in 1998. Since then it has quickly developed into an internationally recognized Treatment Centre of Excellence, providing services to individuals and their families suffering from the devastating effects of addiction.
Crossroads is like no other Treatment Centre. It is the perfect place to begin the road of recovery and utilizes a combination of effective therapies to address addiction and recovery, while capturing the spiritual serenity that many have found unique to Antigua. Within the serene, healing atmosphere individuals participate in a structured residential 12 step based program that allows clients to experience a whole person wellness approach to recovery.
We believe that the majority of individuals suffering from addiction have the capacity for recovery if given the proper foundation to begin their journey. At Crossroads we help provide that foundation.
