About Us
Crossroads Behavioral Healthcare has been in the behavioral healthcare business since the early 1970s building an exceptional reputation and trust in our area as leading behavioral healthcare professionals. In 2001 the North Carolina General Assembly instituted reform measures to improve accountability; ensure consumer choice of community providers; bring managed care principles to public behavioral healthcare; focus on consumer advocacy and involvement; develop and implement evidence-based practices; coordinate and ensure access to care; and, implement recovery-based models of clinical care. Crossroads earned its three-year national accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) as a service management network.
The Crossroads region covers 1450 square miles with a population of just over 250,000, extending from the Virginia State line to the shores of Lake Norman, the nation’s largest manmade lake by surface area.
Surry and Yadkin Counties comprise the eastern foothills region of North Carolina, with the Blue Ridge Mountains rising to the north and west. Iredell County, one of the fastest growing counties in the state, is known as the crossroads of NC for its central location and as home to the intersection of interstates 77 and 40, major thoroughfares for the state.
The economically and culturally diverse region ranges from small agricultural communities to growing cities.
In 2005, Crossroads Behavioral Healthcare completed a multi-year transition from a direct service provider for citizens of Iredell, Surry and Yadkin counties to a Local Management Entity (LME). As the Local Management Entity, Crossroads provides oversight and management of consumer-centered local services for mental illness, developmental disabilities and substance abuse treatment.
Covering an economically and culturally diverse region that ranges from small agricultural communities to growing cities, Crossroads serves more than 260,000 people in a 1450 square miles area, extending from the Virginia State line to the shores of Lake Norman, the nation’s largest manmade lake by surface area.
