The Cornerstone Program is a unique, locally owned and operated drug rehab center for teens and young adults with substance use disorder (SUD). The program accepts federal and other government funding as well as self payment.
The treatment center is in Centennial, Colorado. This is an outpatient treatment program focusing on group counseling and building positive peer relationships. The program specifically treats adolescents and young adults with a teen track (12-17) and a young adult track (18-25).
Centennial, Colorado, is the 10th largest city in Colorado. The city offers parks, walking trails and hiking areas. It’s a great place for young people to learn that sober living is a fun and rewarding way of life.
The program actively involves families in the treatment process. Parents have their own support group meetings and speak to their child’s counselor weekly. They also meet with staff regularly throughout the program to ensure that parents and staff are on the same page in regards to treatment.
One of the unique things about the program is that it’s built for teens and young adults, rather than being a teen version of an adult program. The treatment team understands that young people have different challenges and needs than those of adults.
Today’s youth is dealing with social media culture, intense peer pressure, cyberbullying and stronger drugs than seen in previous generations. The program meets young people where they are and helps them learn that they can live a fun and fulfilling life without substances.
The staff strives to build honest relationships with the youth and families they work with. The treatment environment is family friendly and relaxed. Most of the staff are in recovery and understand how to relate to young people.
Treatment includes individual substance use counseling, intensive outpatient drug rehab and support groups. The counselors also go out into the community to speak about substance use and misuse.
Our Methodology
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Professional services are often necessary to recover from addiction. Drug rehab in Colorado provides the expert services needed to address the complex issues of addiction and help individuals start their recovery journey.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
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.

There is no recovery at this place. They put you in a bubble like environment. Keep you away from reality. Once you leave life is real. Dont waste your money on this place. I here cult like. All counseling is fellow members. They dont hore outside. No real degrees.
Super awesome place saved my life
This program is based on really good principles, BUT the style and leadership make for a cult like environment. It really does. I was in this program years ago. I did witness it do some good in the moment, but ultimately when young kids go through this program and then move on into the real world, it shows that the culture there actually can do a lot of harm. So so many people that I was in there with, including me, left feeling really lost, confused and let down. It’s hard to explain how that causes this path of confusion, depression and more than before addiction problems, but that is what I witnessed again and again from this program and other programs like it (Enthusiastic sobriety programs or Meehan programs). One of my best friends passed away in the few years after this program, just being in a lost, confused and depressed state and using to cope. Unfortunately I have had more friends that I can count (just who were good friends of mine while I was there) who are dead now. Yes mainly from addiction, but there is an amplified element to the addiction problem when the confusion and mental cult damage is added into a young persons already struggling life. If you need help for your young one my best recommendation is to find a healthy church youth group. A true healthy humble non denominational Christian church with a thriving youth group is so good and healthy for teenagers. No community is perfect but in a healthy church youth group there will be parameters so that bullying, patronizing and focusing on things that ultimately do more harm won’t happen. I know there are probably many voices pointing to this group as being great, but ultimately these enthusiastic sobriety groups seem to do more harm than good. More people are left feeling lost and misled than truly helped long term. You can look on Facebook for instance, there are many groups on there formed just to help those coming out of them heal from Some of the mental/emotional abuse, patronizing and sort of bullying that can take place from the leaders to the members. This group had a temporary positive affect on my family but ultimately far more harm (decades of confusion and discord). There isn’t much that can be done but at least those of us who have truly experienced these programs can voice the truth of what we experienced. Now I am 13 years sober and a man of faith, married and happy, and we do have a church we go to (spiritual community) which is awesome (and I pray and hope for everyone to find whatever HEALTHY version of that for their family). Our family has had a lot of healing from addiction and also healing from the cult type damage done from this group. But there are still negative traumas I sense within my family and…again, I still see formal members on Facebook that pass away or continue to struggle mentally, emotionally and with addiction. This is why I write here, consider a healthy Christian church youth group, or AA first. It may be the better (maybe less attractive at first) but actually long term helpful, and really impact you, your kid and your family in a beautiful, positive way. Blessings and thank you for reading
