The needs of addicted women differ markedly from those of men. For many women struggling with addiction, issues with mental health, past trauma, domestic violence and parenting are central to their addiction and therefore must be addressed during treatment.“The Women’s Program at Crossroads takes the specific needs of women into account, implementing evidence-based curriculum that is gender-responsive, including trauma informed and family centered services.” –Maria Acevedo, 2007The Women’s Program at Crossroads is a 44-bed residential unit, located at the Juan B.
