ST. GEORGE AREA LOCATION

Our location, St. George, UT, is a popular getaway for vacationers seeking favorable weather, year-round recreation opportunities, and breathtaking scenery.

The historic Moses Andrus Home serves as ATC’s centralized “clubhouse.”

Built during the mid 1880’s, the home is a historically registered staple in the St. George community. Listed on the St. George Historical Tour, the two-story home was painstakingly built with a black lava rock foundation. Once laid, the foundation was allowed to settle for one whole year before any more work on the home began. This measure was taken to insure the house would not crack or experience any undesirable settling.

Resembling this history – and in the spirit of the Moses Andrus Home, we believe a young adult’s time at ATC will afford them the opportunity to lay a solid foundation – on which they will rely for the rest of their lives – as they move on to subsequent successes.

The clubhouse serves as the collective hub amongst all of our residences. It is here that you will find staff offices, group therapy rooms, student computer lab, putting green, basketball hoop, student lounge, a kitchen, as well as multiple common areas for the enjoyment of staff members and students alike.

You will always find ATC students gathering here to take care of their various needs and commitments, study and complete school work, search for jobs, work on therapy assignments, watch sporting events, eat meals, organize games, and put on talent shows – or to just spend their free time.

MISSION PHILOSOPHY

\

Education, Experiences, and Empowerment make us who we are. Through change and growth, our personal beliefs can be developed or strengthened in understanding what is most important to us; serving people, pursuing excellence, embracing change, acting with integrity and being an asset to our communities.

\

At the Crossroads is a young adult transitional living program providing coaching, therapeutic support and real life experiences for young adult men and women struggling to launch from their primary support systems. Although there is variance with the underlying diagnostic indicators that bring a young adult to ATC and the subsequent treatment planning and solutions necessary during their course of treatment; the inability to develop healthy individuation is at the common root among all clients.

\

At the Crossroads utilizes a strengths based relational approach. Years of research have shown that the greatest indicator of treatment gains is dependent on the strength of the therapeutic relationship. We do not seek to micromanage, control, punish or manipulate young adults into compliance. Through developing trust and respect we use “collegial” relationships to influence and coach clients toward greater mental, emotional and physical health. We establish a culture of attraction not coercion. The less the client feels they are in a “treatment program” but rather a “supportive treatment community,” the greater likelihood of that client developing real internal change that is not artificially manipulated because the container provided little real world experience for trial and error.
