Speaker Presentation:
Crossroads, Back Cove Women’s Residential Program
This week we had Leslie Rawlings and Dr. Marianne Roy visit our club to discuss the Crossroads program that they run, which is a non-profit founded in 1974. They operate 2 residential programs in Portland’s Back Cove, which houses pregnant mothers as well as mothers with children under 5 years of age, while they recover from alcoholism. There are 30 and 60 day programs available.
These homes have 8 and 10 beds each, with 2 additional outpatient counseling centers in Scarborough and Kennebunk as well.
Their mission is to provide gender responsive addiction and behavioral health treatment services in a safe and respectful environment so individuals and families can lead healthy lives.
