Some of the important services provided OUTSIDE include:

- Staying Clean & Sober - for those inmates who had a problem with alcohol or other drug abuse, CR can play a key part in helping a motivated inmate to break free of the common cycle of "get drunk/high, get into trouble, get arrested, get out" and repeat until dead or locked away for life. Crossroads helps to connect those in need of recovery services get treatment/counseling and get plugged into their local AA/NA recovery community.
- Employment - Finding AND Getting a JOB.....FAST! In 2007, Crossroads Reentry developed an employment program that has proven highly successful - many inmates who carefully follow the time tested steps in the CR Employment Program, even those with a long criminal record involving serious felony convictions, are able to secure full-time employment within 15-30 days following release from jail.
- Housing - another major area of assistance provided by CR is helping newly released inmates secure shelter - getting an apartment, finding a roomate to help share expenses, getting a bed or room in a temporary or long-term shelter or "sober living center" and similar residential assistance
- In addition to providing inmates with local "County Resources", we can also help on a regional and national level to provide assistance whereever the inmate is planning to live after release from jail/prison
