Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that concentrates on recognizing and reshaping negative thought patterns that impact behavior and emotions. It is based on the idea that modifying unhelpful thinking can lead to changes in behavior and emotional well-being. CBT is a goal-oriented approach widely used to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including anxietydepression, and substance use disorders. It teaches individuals coping strategies for dealing with challenging situations.1

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that focuses on the psychosocial aspects of treatment. The main principle of DBT is to balance opposing forces. By using acceptance and change strategies, DBT aims to help individuals effectively manage their emotions, improve relationships, and live more mindfully. DBT is especially helpful for treating personality disorders, such as borderline personality disorder, and conditions involving significant emotional dysregulation.2

Individual therapy consists of one-on-one sessions between a client and a therapist, with a focus on understanding the underlying issues and behaviors contributing to substance use. It offers a private setting for individuals to explore their emotions, triggers, and past experiences that impact their addiction.

Testimonials

What ARIZONA clients and treatment professionals say about Cornerstone

This facility is unlike any other rehab I have attended. Despite many attempts to stay sober since I was 16, previous centers lacked effective aftercare, leaving me without the necessary tools to build a foundation. At Cornerstone, I was fully immersed in the 12-step program and benefited greatly from the PHP groups and daily recovery meetings. They provided excellent housing and set me up with a comprehensive aftercare plan, including sober living, a job, and progress in my 12 steps. After leaving, I continued with IOP, supported weekly by a navigator who helped me overcome obstacles. The caring staff at Cornerstone is dedicated to individual success, and thanks to them, I have achieved long-term sobriety and happiness. I am forever grateful to Cornerstone and its team for their ongoing support in my recovery journey.

I watched my loved one struggle with an addiction to alcohol for over fifteen years. In 2022 he was at the worse I had ever seen. I suggested a multitude of things to quit, however, I knew that he needed help and was convinced that this was not going to end well. I had seen the program of recovery outlined at Cornerstone and convinced my loved one to make the 1,800-mile drive across the country. It saved his life. I hardly recognize this man today. From hustling me to pay for "just one more night" at a hotel, to having his own apartment in a year is a miracle. Cornerstone provided him a safe place and provided every tool possible including inpatient treatment, A.A., therapy and counseling, IOP and helped with his transition into the mainstream of life. I’ll be forever grateful.

This place saved my life 100%. the whole staff genuinely cared about me and were only trying to help me grow. i have confidence again and goals to achieve. coming from someone who was very suicidal and a bad alcoholic before treatment, i’ve completely done a 180°. i loved my house managers lacey and jazz who were both extremely important to my recovery. my primary therapist Lori was such a sweetheart and i could tell she genuinely cared about my life and wanted to help in any way she could. i feel like i’ve finally found my place in this world and most importantly myself and that’s all thanks to God and Cornerstone.

Cornerstone Healing Center helped me through my DUI classes, and the founder, Estil Wallace, was very helpful at my time of need. With everything that you have to go through when you get a DUI, the Cornerstone classes are easy to access and can be completed in your time schedule. I would recommend Cornerstone Healing Center for all your needs regarding recovery. The staff is very dedicated and compassionate about recovery for individuals and their support system.
