Robert J. Winn Promoted to Regional Director for Crossroads Treatment Center in Haddon Township, NJ
Mar 23, 2023
Pennsauken, New Jersey Mar 23, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Robert J. Winn is the new Regional Director for Crossroads Treatment Center. Founded in 2005, this outpatient facility combines medication, counseling, and a referral network to give people the best chance to succeed. Since its inception, Crossroads has been at the front lines of treating patients with opioid use disorder (OUD). Currently operating 125 clinics across ten states, Robert J Winn and his team of doctors, nurse practitioners, and counselors are dedicated to combating this growing affliction and helping people start their path to recovery.
Opioid addiction is a chronic, curable illness that can afflict anybody, regardless of color, gender, socioeconomic status, or class. Specific criteria are required to meet an official diagnosis, such as failed attempts to reduce or regulate usage or failure to fulfill duties at work, school, or home. If not appropriately treated, death from overdosing is a possibility. A projected 2.7 million adults aged 12 and older reported having an OUD in 2020. That number has steadfastly increased since the pandemic. Opioid abuse has grown to over 3 million Americans and 16 million others globally. In the US, overdoses are the most common injury-related cause of death, and they seem to have increased during the COVID-19 epidemic.
Throughout his decades of experience as a family-based physician who lives and works in Haddon Township, New Jersey, Dr. Winn has consistently provided high-quality, personalized care. He is known for his personalized, one-on-one attention and the respectful way he treats his clients and staff. In addition to dedicating his life to helping his patients, Dr. Winn is a beloved mentor. He has instructed medical students and resident physicians for over ten years.
Dr. Winn earned his doctorate at Drexel University College of Medicine after receiving his master's degree at Villanova University, where he majored in psychology. Prior to this, Robert earned his undergraduate degree at Furman University, majoring in neuroscience. His residency was completed at the University of Pennsylvania and was followed by a nearly 15-year appointment at Thomas Jefferson University.
Dr. Winn focuses on prevention to help patients achieve their health and wellness goals. He understands that treating the root cause of an illness is more important than masking the symptoms with medication. According to Dr. Robert J. Winn, medical treatment should be provided in a setting where patients feel secure and cared for. Rather than only treating the illness, he thinks the emphasis should be on healing the person. This belief is what led him to pursue a career at Crossroads.
