About Crossroads Family Center
The Crossroads Family Center in El Cajon, California provides outpatient care for children and youth ages 5 to 18 along with their families. In this case, family members include any caregivers or significant people in the child’s life. They provide crisis support, mental health counseling and substance use treatment.
They accept MediCal and no one is denied services because they can’t pay. If you don’t have insurance, they can help you enroll in MediCal and they have a sliding fee scale for those who qualify.
Outpatient Treatment For Youth in El Cajon
This center provides evidence based counseling in individual, group and family therapy. I like that they ensure all family members actively participate in the treatment plan so the child is fully supported both during and after treatment.
Crossroads knows that it can be hard for families to organize treatment around other activities, so they also provide services in the community, home and school as well as the clinic. I appreciate that this helps prevent scheduling and transportation problems from interfering with treatment.
In addition to mental health and substance use treatment, Crossroads offers case management, parenting education and crisis support.

Gender-specific addiction treatment programs may be more effective in treating men because they focus on unique needs of males. Men’s rehab in California is designed to help men process emotions and cope with stress in a judgment-free environment.
Women’s rehab in California provides a safe environment where women can work through addiction challenges surrounded by their gender peers. This often creates an environment that is more conducive to recovery.
When a person is struggling with addiction, their actions and emotions may not be rational. Cognitive behavioral therapy in California helps individuals understand better why they feel and act certain ways and how those emotions and actions can lead to substance abuse.
Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.
Therapists often use rational emotive behavioral therapy in California to treat addiction. The ABC (activating event, beliefs, consequences) framework is used to help participants identify irrational beliefs and reframe their thinking in healthier ways.
Levels of Care
When you choose outpatient rehab in California, you will meet with a counselor and attend support group meetings. The focus will be on restructuring attitudes and thoughts to reduce cravings and develop skills to prevent relapse. The length of time in outpatient rehab varies by individual, based on their recovery needs.
When you have a co-occurring disorder, it is essential to treat both your addiction and the mental health disorder. California dual diagnosis treatment provides this type of multidisciplinary approach, for improved recovery outcomes.
Intervention services in California provide the support you need to encourage a loved one to make wise recovery decisions. Professionals will help you work with your loved one to develop an intervention plan and get him or her started on their recovery journey.

How does payment work at Crossroads Family Center if you are uninsured?
Medi-Cal is accepted, and so are people who are Medi-Cal eligible or uninsured. No one is turned away because they cannot pay. Services for children, youth, and families in El Cajon follow that same rule. See paying for rehab for a general look at payment.
Who can receive services at this El Cajon clinic?
Children and youth ages 5 to 18, and up to age 21 when clinically indicated. A serious emotional disturbance is required, or a psychiatric condition that meets medical necessity under Title 9 for specialty mental health services. Families are part of the group the El Cajon clinic serves.
Where are services provided besides the clinic?
Services are provided in the community, in the home, in schools, and at the clinic, so care is easier to reach. From El Cajon, school and home-based services also extend into rural Back-Country communities in the East region of San Diego County.
What kinds of counseling and treatment does the clinic use?
Care includes psychiatric and behavioral health evaluations, plus medication management. Counseling is offered individually, with the family, and in groups. Case management, parenting support, crisis intervention, and substance use prevention and treatment are also part of the work. Those fit under addiction therapy options when substance use is the focus.
How are families involved at Crossroads Family Center, and who funds care?
Services are family-driven. Every family member takes an active part in planning services and in how they are delivered. Funding comes from Behavioral Health Services at the County of San Diego, which supports these programs for children, youth, and families.
