The Crossroads Foundation is built on the philosophy that all individuals that have succumbed to the viciousness of addiction are capable of recovering provided they get the proper guidance and adequate support. As wholly non profit organization, the Crossroads Center aims to deliver individuals from the vice like grip of addiction and transform their lives for the better. The founding father Eric Clapton, is celebrated all over fro his fantastic musical ability, however his personal battle with alcoholism and addiction to other drugs was one of the primary initiators of establishing this treatment center that would help people recover just as he had.

Celebrities who have entered the Crossroads Center for treatment include Britney Spears, who reportedly checked into the clinic in 2007 for less than 24 hours before checking herself out again.
