Therapies Offered in Our Partial Hospitalization Program

psychotherapy for bipolar

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and restructuring negative thought patterns that influence behavior and emotions. It operates on the principle that changing maladaptive thinking leads to changes in behavior and emotional regulation. 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

group therapy and processing for trauma

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that emphasizes the psychosocial aspects of treatment. Its foundational principle is the synthesis of opposites. Through acceptance and change strategies, DBT aims to help individuals learn to manage emotions, improve relationships, and live more mindfully. DBT is particularly effective for treating personality disorders, such as borderline personality disorder, and conditions involving significant emotional dysregulation.2

cognitive behavioral therapy

Individual therapy involves one-on-one sessions between a client and a therapist, focusing on the underlying issues and behaviors contributing to substance use. It provides a private setting for individuals to explore their emotions, triggers, and past experiences that influence their addiction. This personalized approach enables the development of customized strategies for coping and recovery, making it a fundamental aspect of effective addiction treatment programs.

FAQs About Our Partial Hospitalization Program

Get answers to the most commonly asked questions about PHP treatment:

What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program and How Does It Differ from Residential Treatment?

A Partial Hospitalization Program is a rehabilitation program that provides structured care similar to residential (inpatient) rehab.

However, unlike inpatient rehab, PHP treatment allows clients to return home at the end of the day instead of residing at the facility 24/7.

The program provides intensive drug and alcohol treatment during the day, usually involving several hours of therapy a week, without an overnight stay.

This structure benefits individuals who require significant support and treatment but have a stable home environment and can manage being at home during evenings and weekends.

PHP treatment is a critical step between complete inpatient care and less intensive models, such as outpatient treatment, offering a balanced approach that supports recovery while maintaining some personal freedoms.3

What Is the Schedule of Cornerstone's Partial Hospitalization Program?

Our Partial Hospitalization Program operates 5 days a week, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

It includes process groups, life skills training, psycho-education, medical and psych evaluations, and a comprehensive bio-psychosocial assessment.

In addition, the program offers 60 minutes of individual therapy, family sessions, crisis intervention, fitness therapy, nutrition classes, meals, and transportation.

Our holistic approach creates a supportive environment for sustained healing and personal growth.

Our Partial Hospitalization Program incorporates a wide array of therapies and treatments designed to address the multifaceted nature of drug and alcohol addiction, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which help clients modify negative thought patterns and manage emotions and relationships effectively.

We also utilize Motivational Interviewing to enhance motivation toward recovery.

The program is enriched with individual and group therapy sessions.

It offers specialized tracks like the “Ready to Launch” and the “Professionals Track,” tailored to accommodate individuals with specific professional and personal obligations.

Additionally, Holistic approaches such as Art and Music Therapy, Fitness Therapy, and Nutrition Classes are integrated to support overall well-being.

Partial Hospitalization Programs are a proven treatment option for individuals struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.

PHP treatment provides a structured environment similar to inpatient care but allows patients to maintain some aspects of their daily lives.

Research shows that PHPs are particularly effective for patients who require intensive treatment but do not need 24-hour supervision.

The therapies offered in PHP, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, have been shown to reduce substance use and improve patient outcomes significantly.

A study in the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment found that patients participating in PHPs exhibited improved psychological and social functioning, suggesting that PHP can be a vital component of the continuum of care for substance abuse treatment (Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment, 2020).4

This level of care is especially beneficial for those with a supportive home environment and a solid motivation to recover, providing the necessary support while reintegrating into everyday life.

Partial Hospitalization Program coverage may differ depending on your specific insurance plan.

Cornerstone proudly accepts a wide range of insurance providers to ensure our services are available to as many people as possible.

It’s worth noting that many insurance plans cover PHP treatment since it is a recognized and effective drug and alcohol treatment.

We encourage you to contact us for free, confidential insurance verification.

Our team can provide a clear breakdown of your benefits and help you understand the available coverage options for our Partial Hospitalization Program.

By doing this, we hope to eliminate any financial barriers to accessing the necessary care and support to aid in your recovery.

After completing our Partial Hospitalization Program at Cornerstone, clients receive a customized Aftercare Plan to provide continued support on their recovery journey.

This plan is tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals.

Depending on their progress and requirements, clients may transition to an Intensive Outpatient Treatment Program or our standard Outpatient Treatment Program.

It’s important to remember that everyone’s post-treatment path is different, and what works for one person may not work for another.

Our Aftercare support includes individual therapy sessions, access to group therapy, and participation in wellness activities that reinforce the principles of recovery.

Additionally, our vibrant alumni network offers regular meetings, workshops, and social gatherings.

This creates a community of mutual support and belonging, which is essential for long-term sobriety and overall health.

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.

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.
