Why Clients Recommend Us
Over the years, we’ve heard powerful feedback from the people we’ve had the honor to support. These shared experiences highlight what matters most to our clients and why they trust us with their healing.
Compassionate Staff & Personalized care
From your first call, we listen to your story and what you need right now. We build a plan around your goals, your schedule, and your safety—never a one-size-fits-all track. You’ll feel seen, not rushed, with check-ins that change your plan as you grow. Our promise is simple: we treat you like a person, not a case.
Evidence-Based, Effective Programs
We use therapies with strong outcomes—Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)3, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)-informed skills 4, relapse prevention, and trauma-responsive care. Sessions focus on skills you can use the same day—sleep, cravings, emotions, and staying consistent. You’ll understand the reason for each step and what comes next. We track progress together and adjust what isn’t working.
Holistic, Whole-Person Treatment
Addiction and mental health touch every part of life. Your plan might incorporate mindfulness, routine-building, family involvement (with consent), and simple wellness habits that fit your day. We keep it practical so change lasts outside of the session. The goal is a steadier mood, healthier relationships, and real momentum.
Dual-Diagnosis & Co-Occurring Expertise
Many clients arrive with anxiety or depression, or are working through trauma alongside substance use.5 We treat both at the same time because your symptoms are connected. This integrated approach supports stability and may lower the risk of relapse. You’ll learn tools for dealing with triggers, emotion regulation, and long-term maintenance.
Alumni Support & Community
Recovery sticks better with people in your corner. Our alumni groups, check-ins, and connections with peers help you stay grounded when life gets overwhelming. You’ll have places to celebrate progress and ask for help fast. Community makes it easier to keep going on the hard days.
Transparent Communication
You’ll know what’s included, what it costs, and how we’ll measure progress before you start. We offer written estimates, help you verify insurance, and discuss self-pay options when needed. If another level of care is a better fit, we’ll let you know and help you transition. Clear, honest guidance builds trust—every step of the way.
How Cornerstone Builds Trust Through Care
You deserve ethical, skilled care delivered with heart. Our team includes licensed clinicians who follow proven approaches and receive ongoing supervision and training. We explain the “what” and the “why” for each recommendation so you always know what to expect.
We also keep communication clear around cost and scheduling—offering written estimates, helping you verify insurance, and mapping self-pay or step-down plans when needed. When appropriate, we collaborate with outside providers and refer you to higher or lower levels of care that fit your clinical needs. Trust grows when your care is compassionate and transparent.
Why Community and Support Matter at Cornerstone
Most clients say the community made the difference. In treatment, you’re surrounded by people who get it—peers and professionals who want you to win. After treatment, that support continues through alumni groups, ongoing therapy options, and family education. You’ll learn how to rebuild routines, set better boundaries, and handle tough days without losing steam. We believe long-term recovery is built one connected day at a time.6
How to Use Reviews to Choose What’s Right for You
Real reviews can point you in the right direction. Here’s how to use them well:
- Look for patterns, not just stars. Do multiple clients mention compassion, clear guidance, and real-world tools?
- Check recency. Fresh feedback shows how the program works now.
- Notice your needs. If you need dual-diagnosis care, look for clients who improved in both addiction and mental health.
- Ask about aftercare. Strong alumni and family support matters when the schedule loosens.
- Talk to admissions. A five-minute call can say more than a hundred reviews. We’ll share questions to ask any provider and what to watch for to spot red flags.
If you want help comparing options—even if you’re not sure you’ll choose us—we’re happy to share a simple checklist. There’s no pressure here. You deserve the right fit.
Quick Tip: Ask the Right Questions When Choosing a Rehab
- Is the program accredited, and are clinicians licensed?
- What therapies are offered (evidence-based, trauma-informed)?
- Do they provide aftercare and alumni support?
- What do past clients say—and how recent are the reviews?

How Cornerstone Gave Me My Life Back
By the time I came to Cornerstone at 33, I was exhausted from years of addiction and carrying trauma I didn’t know how to face. I felt tired, scared, and honestly close to giving up.
What made this place different was that I wasn’t treated like just another addict. The team saw all of me—my addiction, my mental health, and the pain underneath and met me with structure and compassion that felt real. Groups weren’t surface-level; they were honest, and the community carried me when I couldn’t carry myself.
And today, I get to work at the very place that gave me my life back, helping others find the same hope, healing, and second chances that were once given to me.
