Crossroads Treatment Centers just made a significant move by acquiring Family Health Services, a well-respected outpatient addiction treatment provider in New Kensington and Ford City, Pennsylvania. This acquisition aims to boost access to quality care for those dealing with opioid use disorder and other substance challenges.
Dr. Rupert McCormac, IV, the founder and CEO of Crossroads, expressed excitement about this new journey. “We are honored to serve the New Kensington and Ford City communities with compassionate, patient-centered care,” he said. As Pennsylvania’s largest provider of medication-assisted treatment, Crossroads plans to enhance services for Dr. Kaur’s patients. This includes continuous care management and access to a Patient Access Center that operates round the clock.
Founded by Dr. Prakash Kaur, Family Health Services has built a strong reputation in the community, especially for its dedication to diverse populations. This acquisition aligns with the mission of both organizations to elevate public health and recovery outcomes in the Pittsburgh region. Dr. Kaur will continue her vital role by joining the Crossroads medical team, ensuring a smooth transition for patients and staff.
Post-acquisition, Crossroads will run over 100 centers across nine states, committed to breaking down barriers to care. Their focus is on providing respectful, evidence-based treatment that supports recovery.
For context, addiction rates have soared in the last decade. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, over 70,000 people died from drug overdoses in the U.S. in 2019 alone. Collaborations like this are crucial as they aim to expand vital services in regions hard-hit by substance use disorders.
Crossroads has been a key player in the fight against substance use disorder since its inception in 2005. With a dedicated team of healthcare professionals, they work towards creating tailored treatment plans that merge medication-based support with behavioral health therapies. Improved recovery outcomes are not just beneficial for individuals but for their families and communities as well. For more insights about their work, check their website.
