Mission Statement

To provide adolescents, young adults and their families effective drug and alcohol treatment using genuinely connected relationships facilitated by active and purposeful living.

Pioneering Recreation Based Teen Residential Treatment Since 2007 in Ogden, UT for Boys Ages 14 – 18 who are struggling with Addiction and mental health.

CROSSROADS RESIDENTIAL ~ provides short-term treatment for teenage boys ages 14–18 in a safe, home-like environment for 75–90 days.

CROSSROADS ACADEMY ~ is a 9-month therapeutic school program for boys 14–18, designed for those who have experienced addiction and/or mental health challenges, often following a wilderness or short-term residential program. Located across three residential homes in Ogden, UT, Crossroads Academy primarily focuses on substance use treatment through adventure-based living and The Seven Challenges. The program is grounded in Relationship-Based Treatment, emphasizing the restoration and development of healthy relationships.

Addiction often affects family dynamics, legal involvement, and a teen’s ability to pursue education or employment. Common client diagnoses include:
- Substance Use Disorders
- Mood Disorders (e.g., Depression)
- Anxiety Disorders (e.g., Social Anxiety Disorder)
- ADHD / ADD
- Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)
- Learning difficulties and school refusal
- Trauma
- Parent/child conflict (relationship disruption/bullying/interpersonal difficulties)

Crossroads has utilized a motivational enhancement approach (evidence-based), emphasizing client autonomy. Relational psychotherapy further supports teens by helping them build and maintain healthy relationships. Individualized treatment plans include daily individual, group, and family therapy, facilitated by a consistent team of therapists and staff.

Crossroads also prioritizes outdoor adventure as a therapeutic tool, helping clients cultivate passions and live in the moment. Activities include snowboarding, wakeboarding/surfing, rock climbing, skateboarding, backpacking, and hiking.
