 Seminole Behavioral Healthcare's is based on strategies, interventions and
evidence-based practices that promote healing, recovery and enhance
the quality of life. Individuals that abuse alcohol and/or other
drugs come from all walks of life, ethnic backgrounds, and socio-economic
levels. Children with parents that abuse alcohol and/or other drugs
are profoundly impacted and have a high probability of following
in their parents' foot-steps or becoming involved in protective
services or removed from their homes and communities.
The Crossroads
program is designed to restore individuals to a productive and
independent life and that those with children will become parents
who are responsible and capable of making decisions that affect
the well being of all family members.
