About Gaudenzia Crossroads

Gaudenzia has several locations in Erie, Pennsylvania. The one on West 5th Street is known as Crossroads and has medical detox and residential treatment that can address co-occurring mental health and substance use issues. Payment is easy because they accept Medicaid, some private insurance, and county funding.

Withdrawal can be really intimidating and some people don’t seek treatment because they’re afraid of the process. The good news is that this clinic makes detox easier with FDA approved medication and 24 hour access to medical staff. That way you can start treatment substance free and create a life you’re excited about.

Residential treatment lets you focus entirely on recovery without worrying about daily responsibilities. At Crossroads, you get individual and group counseling, connections to a large network of resources and community support, and access to affordable housing options after you graduate. They have specialty treatment programs for those experiencing homelessness, pregnant and parenting women, and those involved in the justice system, but the programs might not be available at Crossroads specifically.

Gaudenzia’s programs are gender responsive, culturally informed, and trauma informed. They can help you get the care you need to break free from substance use.

After my boyfriends insurance was denied here the supervisor helped him find another facility that did accept his insurance on her own time. I already forgot her name but she was amazing for going out of her way to help us. So thankful for people like her that actually care.

Location

Accepted Insurance

Gaudenzia Crossroads works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient rehabs specialize in providing comprehensive care for clients who choose to remain in their homes and communities during treatment. Their services may include transitional support for clients stepping down from intensive inpatient programming. Ambulatory medical detox may be provided for clients at low risk for withdrawal complications. Many programs include evening, night, and weekend services to accommodate clients who are working professionals or caregivers. Addiction counseling and life skills training are common treatment modalities.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Clients engaged in intensive outpatient programs (IOP) live and work in their home community while receiving frequent, high-level care. These programs offer personalized care designed to evolve with the clients' changing needs. Many intensive outpatient rehabs require a minimum of nine hours of treatment per week, but high-risk clients and those in early recovery may receive up to 20 hours of care weekly. IOP services generally include addiction counseling, recovery education, and holistic therapies, such as massage.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
With a partial hospitalization program (PHP), you can participate in intensive rehabilitation treatment with the ability to return home at the end of the day. For a weekly minimum of 20 hours, a partial hospitalization program can take place up to 5 days a week for an average of 90 days. During PHP treatment, you can receive relapse prevention strategies, medication management, individual and group therapy, and other behavioral therapy interventions.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in Pennsylvania is devoted to the treatment of addiction. Levels of care, treatment methods, and settings differ, but the aim of each program is to end drug dependency and empower participants to achieve long-term recovery.

Gaudenzia provides a residential treatment facility for this region's residents who are diagnosed with mental illness as well as a chemical dependency addiction. Residential care is available to men and women in their 414 West 5th Street facility. This includes shelter, support for recovery from addiction, and services to stabilize the symptoms of chronic mental illness. This program is accessible to any adult who has been diagnosed with mental illness, and is chemically dependent.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.

Clinical Services

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Argued with the director for a month for them to sign my "return to work" paperwork. Very unprofessional director ended up hanging up the phone on me as I was trying to get important matters straightened out. What a joke.

Absolutely horrible place to go. They have cockroaches all through the building. They are unethical to clients by gaslighting them and there s been times a client has gone an entire 28 day stay without ever seeing a counselor. The director has created an extremely toxic environment. They ve kicked clients out for things that other clients get away with. Go to another addictions treatment center.

I had to go here in August 2019, on my own volition. It's not a bad place like a lot of people are claiming. Most of the staff are kind and caring, but you're bound to have a few bad apples at any job. I never saw one cockroach or any other sort of infestation. The entire building was very clean, as the first thing we had to do every morning was clean it from top to bottom.To the people that are saying this is behavioral modification instead of rehab, it's both. Obviously your behavior needs changed so you don't get back into the situations that led to your addiction.

Worst place ever. Don;t go there. They do not do anything that they say they will do. Family therapy was offered but never followed through on by any of the counselors. Find another rehab anywhere but don't go here. In my opinion, they don't care about the clients and it is all about the money. I would share with anyone my son's horrible experience at this facility. I will share his tragic story with anyone to save one's life.

It stinks because they really do try to get you clean there but it is a nightmare. The first time i went there was 5 years ago for detox. There was literally nothing for us to do there. We all sat there for 5 days and stared at each other and just talked.

You stay 28 or 90 no in between. If probation or the courts make you go be prepared to stay the full 90 no matter what you were ordered. I had to stay 90 and I'm still sober today but it was excessive and unneeded to be there that long. You're in one room all day long there is no vending machines you can only drink milk and water. The only good thing about this place is most of the counselors and staff are in recovery. I would only recommend this rehab if you need to get out of jail or you're completely desperate for a place to go. I had coffee, Kool-Aid, and Candy the entire time but only because I was sneaky enough to pull it off. It's sad that they make you practice old behaviors for such simple things other rehabs offer.my name is adrian beck
