UNITED HEALTHCARE COVERED DRUG REHAB PROGRAMS
Our Residential Treatment Programs offer comprehensive and long-term support to those struggling with substance abuse. We combine detoxification, counseling, and holistic healing techniques to provide effective treatment. Our therapy is based on evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), complemented by mindfulness, yoga, and nutrition therapy. Our primary aim is to identify and address the underlying causes of addiction, equipping individuals with the necessary skills for lasting recovery and relapse prevention.
Our Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) offer a comprehensive and structured approach to recovery. The program operates five days a week for six hours daily, providing intensive daytime care that includes therapeutic counseling, group activities, and holistic practices. Participants don't have to stay overnight, which makes it a convenient option. This approach helps individuals effectively address their addiction challenges and equips them with the necessary skills and support for long-term sobriety. The PHP focuses on personal responsibility and encourages participants to apply the techniques they learn in real-life situations.
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is the first step toward recovery. Our Standard Outpatient Program runs three times a week and has a flexible schedule to accommodate personal commitments. These programs feature a variety of therapeutic interventions, such as individual counseling, group therapy sessions, and skill-development workshops. By adopting a holistic approach, we offer a nurturing path to recovery and help those whose lives have been affected by addiction.

Alumni Client Family Testimonial
I feel like Cornerstone gave him all the right tools. He knew how to do it. It was something we could have never done. I just could totally see kind of a personality change in him of wanting, and knowing, that he could achieve and do higher things and greater things. That has to be the people (at Cornerstone).”
