was founded in 1984, almost 25 years ago, by Michael Stone, M.D. Dr. Stone is a Board Certified Family Physician, a diplomat of American Pain Management Society and is certified in Addiction Medicine. He believes in a hands-on approach and is totally involved in the clinical quality of our program.
Dr. Stone has treated over 60,000 addicts since he began this work in 1969. He understands addiction!
Many of our clients bring with them co-occurring problems; mental disorders such as depression, general anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social phobia, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), physical problems such as diabetes, hypertension, liver problems, gastritis, arthritis and back pain. Clients with these additional problems, have a better chance of long term recovery, when they are able to stay in an extended care program, with support.
Cornerstone specializes in Alcohol and Drug Detox and Rehab. Many of our clients have co-occurring disorders/dual diagnoses which must be treated alongside the Chemical Dependency. This is called integrated treatment and it is what we do best at Cornerstone. This treatment is continued from detox to primary care, to extended care for those with co-occurring disorders. They must learn to take their medications and follow a structured routine; 90 days is the minimum we recommend. After some time in extended care they may begin to look for work, work, volunteer or go to school.
Besides chemical dependencies there are often other co-occurring behavioral dependencies e.g. gambling, sex, food, exercise, religion and relationships which must be addressed.
Often we find the person being admitted for substance dependence has been trying to self-medicate the symptoms of a mental or physical complaint. They often get themselves very confused, chemically, and emotionally trying to fix it without help. We are able to assist the individual in finding the right psychiatrist or other medical professional to help; they can evaluate and recommend the best course of treatment for each individual. The cost of this is in addition to our Chemical Dependency program but is often covered by insurance.
Cornerstone recognizes that recovery is a long term process and employs experienced counselors to provide guidance. The goal is to lay out a “road map” to empower our residents to navigate the road to recovery with confidence.
Cornerstone ensures a safe and structured environment to assist our residents in developing a routine and network to maintain long term recovery. The goal is to re-establish healthy and productive life patterns prior to returning home.
Cornerstone provides extended care for long term recovery management. We recognize that sobriety is a lifelong process. Remembering the childhood experience of learning to ride a bike reminds us of how important practice is. If you take the training wheels off the bike without the practice, time and acquired skill, you fall. The same is true of sobriety. Our goal is to give long term extended care for sobriety management.
