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.
