About Cornerstone
Cornerstone offers medically supervised detox, inpatient treatment, and aftercare services.
The medically supervised detoxification program at Cornerstone is a 24/7 monitored detox process that allows for safety and as much comfort as possible while removing the addictive substance from the body. This is an inpatient program that involved medications to support the process. Upon completion of the detox, an inpatient treatment plan may be needed.
The inpatient treatment program at Cornerstone offers medical, nursing, and counseling services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The chemical dependency and rehabilitation services are designed to help develop the necessary skills to maintain a clean and sober lifestyle. The process begins with a comprehensive biopsychosocial evaluation. From here, an independently catered treatment plan will be developed. If medications are needed for opioid drugs, they will be prescribed and monitored. The inpatient program will also provide mental health treatment to work through the mental and emotional aspects of the addiction.
At Cornerstone, the Medication Assisted Treatment Program provides medications along with comprehensive medical, psychiatric, and behavioral counseling. FDA approved medications are used to support withdrawal from opioid drugs and to help maintain long term abstinence. By combining medication with mental health treatment, a greater chance of success is achieved for long term abstinence.
All those who attend Cornerstone treatment programs are provided a discharge plan that includes referrals to outside mental health and substance use disorder treatment organizations. The intention is to help create a solid foundation based in recovery with a healthy and supportive network. Regular attendance at self help groups and the re-establishment of positive relationships with loved ones greatly improve the likelihood of success post treatment in comparison to those who do not have this level of support.

I am also a NYS Mandatory reporter. I lived a life of crime for over 30 years did 13 years became an addicted using as an escape from reality life and pain. I have not looked back nor have I made a compromise.I had more people at Cornerstone that belIved in me and saw who I really was and wanted to become.I dropped all my baggage negative reservations everything and anything that was an excuse or reason to do what I was doing. I want to name names but it wouldn't be fair to forget one and leave someone out.

Thank you guys.
Cornerstone gave my son a new look on life. My son is looking forward to working. I want to thank the staff. Their efforts are paying off
I don’t even know where to begin. The way I was treated in here left me traumatized. The staff are all a bunch of bullies and abuse there power. I only stayed because my husband talked me into staying. The whole time I didn’t feel safe, and I couldn’t talk to any of the professionals. Everything was a joke to them. Which was hard to deal with because im there trying to save my life. My meds were being stolen by staff and they never had my refills ready. I would have to go two three days without them. The staff would find it funny how I would react when I didn’t have my medicine. They stressed me out so bad I ended up in the mental hospital. Which they kept refusing to call an ambulance for me. I had to write in a notebook for the cameras to see that I felt like I was held against my will because they won’t call an ambulance for me. For days I was asking for an ambulance but once I did that, that is when they want to get one for me. At one point this guy started to stalk me in the program. Everyone knew what was going one but staff didn’t care until other patients spoke up for me. I ended up writing a report and instead of moving him they moved me to the worst floor in the building. Not even two days on the floor I got jumped by girls that were clearly harassing me in front of the staff. They did nothing about it either. As I was getting ready to go the hospital a staff member grabbed 500 dollar frame glasses because they were covered in blood. She said she was going to put them with my belongs. I just let her do it because well I’m bleeding every where and I felt like I was going to go unconscious. When i came back from the hospital with stitches from the beating I got, they were giving me issues for days to get my belongs which all my stuff where very expensive. They would have me wait outside each day for hours. They told me that they threw away my glasses because they were broken from when I got jumped like I wouldn’t remember I gave them to a staff member. All of my expensive clothing were missing, and they tired to not give me clothes they refused to give me during my stay which it was a gift from my aunt with all the tags still on the clothing. All I can say is this experience made me realize I’m much stronger than I think. I’m disgusted with how staff are here. I was only able to feel like I was safe and could be heard and someone cared was two counselors. I wish we had more people like them in this line of work. I saw the ugliest side of recover in this building. To put the icing on the cake when the cops came to arrest the girls that jumped me, I had to sit in an employee’s office to identify the girls without them seeing me. When the employee found out why I was in her office she had a fit and kicked me out so that the girls would clearly see it was me pressing charges on them. I could have literally died here, I was beat on the head with a metal chair while being held down towards the end of them jumping me, and that employee still tried to put my life in more danger by allowing them to see me. I hope they do something about this place, I hope that nobody else goes through what I went through, but sadly I know that someone will.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
