Our Therapeutic & Holistic Approach to Virtual IOP
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Individual Therapy
Group Therapy
Holistic Treatments
Nutritional Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a core part of our treatment services. This therapy helps clients recognize and change negative thought patterns. You will learn healthier ways to handle stress and manage life’s challenges. CBT works hand-in-hand with group therapy to create a well-rounded recovery plan. For many, it becomes the foundation for building a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) teaches skills to help manage intense emotions, build better relationships, and handle stress. This approach is especially helpful for those facing addiction and co-occurring mental health challenges. Through DBT, you will learn mindfulness, emotional regulation, and ways to navigate difficult situations without harmful behaviors. We integrate DBT into our personalized recovery plans to ensure well-rounded care. These skills give you the tools you need to stay grounded and focused on recovery.
Individual therapy provides a safe and private space for you to explore the root causes of their addiction and mental health problems. Working one-on-one with a therapist, you will identify triggers, develop coping skills, and create strategies to avoid relapse. This personalized support helps build self-awareness and resilience throughout recovery. Therapists also offer guidance and encouragement, helping you track progress and make meaningful changes. Individual therapy plays an important role in building a solid path toward lasting recovery.
Group therapy provides a sense of community and shared understanding. You can connect with others facing similar challenges, reducing feelings of isolation and learning new coping strategies from group interactions. This supportive environment builds accountability and motivation, helping you stay focused on your recovery goals and long-term sobriety.
We emphasize holistic therapies that address the mind, body, and spirit. This can include mindfulness practices, yoga, and nutritional counseling. These practices help you to manage emotions and reduce stress. By focusing on being present without judgment, you can gain tools to create a strong foundation for recovery.
Good nutrition plays an essential role in physical and emotional recovery. Nutritional therapy helps you learn how balanced meals can boost energy, improve mood, and support overall well-being. Our program includes guidance on meal planning and creating long-term healthy eating habits. This therapy works alongside other wellness programs like fitness and meditation to support a thriving lifestyle.

I’m posting this review as a colleague of CHC and as a grateful parent. I’ve always had the utmost respect, not only for the work that CHC has done, but also the culture amongst the organization. Without going into great detail, I just want express my heartfelt gratitude to Estil, Sead and Marcus for going above and beyond with saving the life of a loved one. Your compassion and kindness was the Cornerstone of the foundation in the healing process.
“This place saved my life”
T.W.
Cornerstone Alumni
This place saved my life, the staff are some of the kindest most caring people I have ever met. I definitely struggled at first but once I gave the program my best effort some of the promises are already starting to happen. I am truly grateful for cornerstone healing center I still have a lot of work to do but I definitely learned how to forgive myself and how to love myself and how to be grateful in hard circumstances.
Read from our Testimonials
Cornerstone saved my son’s life! After multiple rehab failures, we were beyond hopeless and miserable. But thanks to a family friend who had major success with Cornerstone, my son decided to try one more time — and this time it worked! My son is now 3+ years clean and sober with a great job he loves and an awesome, happy and successful life!
Cornerstone’s unique approach to treatment plus its amazing, caring professionals and staff really made the difference.

I’ve never done better in my life than when I’ve been at cornerstone. Excellent iop program. The therapists there are amazing. BHTs are so understanding and actually help with whatever they can. The case management goes beyond just doing their job. Navigation is always there to help and never turns us down. The after care program isn’t like anything I’ve ever been through. I can’t hype this place up any more. If you need help I highly recommend this place. It’s a hard program because we lived a hard life. I can’t be any more appreciative of this place and the people running it. If they gave 10 stars I’d put 10.
