Cross Road Recovery Center

6512 US-27, Richmond, IN 47374

Cross Road Christian Recovery Center for Women is a faith-based, 4-month residential facility offering a Christ-centered, Bible-based program to help women struggling with addiction overcome their challenges through spiritual reflection and guidance from scripture. Faith in Jesus Christ is emphasized to provide strength and inspiration for recovery. The program, which is free of charge and funded entirely by donations, grants, and community support, teaches Godly values, biblical living principles, life skills, and recovery tools in a structured environment, including daily devotions, prayer, Bible study, one-on-one mentoring, and group classes addressing spiritual, emotional, and practical aspects. Participants engage in regular church attendance, Celebrate Recovery, and community service projects, and must be open to addiction recovery principles taught from a Christian perspective, though not required to be professing Christians. Opened in the fall of 2010 by Paul and Karon Rose as part of The Shepherd’s Way Christian Ministries, Inc., the center builds on their personal recovery journeys since 1980 and prior ministries. Currently directed by Donald and Joni Reed, both recovering addicts ministering through faith, the program is supported by a dedicated board and volunteers. For those completing the program, the six-month Victory Transitional Program provides continued support for developing a recovery lifestyle, including church attendance, self-help meetings, employment, and educational opportunities to foster financial independence and real-life integration.
