OUR HOLISTIC APPROACH TO RECOVERY

Our program is specifically designed to offer a complete addiction treatment that takes into account the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual requirements of the patients. We follow a holistic approach to healing, which includes integrating various therapies such as mindfulness, nutrition, exercise, and creative therapies to support the individual’s overall well-being. By incorporating this comprehensive approach, we ensure a complete path to recovery, leading to long-term wellness and enabling individuals to regain their health on every level.¹

Emphasizing the development of life skills is fundamental in aiding individuals through addiction recovery. Skills such as job training, resume building, and managing practical tasks like grocery shopping are critical for everyday self-sufficiency. Cultivating these capabilities boosts an individual’s confidence and self-esteem, which is essential for maintaining sobriety. This approach equips residents with a robust foundation, helping them navigate the challenges of sober living post-treatment.²

A supportive community is central to the success of addiction recovery, providing a network of peers who understand the unique challenges of rehabilitation. We cultivate a strong community among our graduates, reinforcing the support system crucial for sustained sobriety. Comprehensive aftercare planning is also a key feature, ensuring that individuals receive the necessary support and resources after completing the program. This ongoing connection to the community is vital for maintaining recovery and preventing relapse, empowering individuals to sustain their health and wellness.³

How it Works

The initial step in joining our Supportive Housing Program involves a thorough evaluation process by our qualified professionals. During this assessment, we carefully consider your housing and living situation, along with your specific needs, substance use history, and any co-occurring mental health conditions, based on the particular program you are enrolled in. This comprehensive evaluation may include interviews, questionnaires, and medical tests to help craft a personalized plan that ensures you have safe and stable housing while in recovery. This detailed approach is designed to address not only the addiction but also its underlying causes, providing a solid foundation for your recovery journey.

After the initial assessment, our Supportive Housing Program crafts a personalized treatment plan that focuses on each resident’s unique needs and goals. This plan addresses the physical, psychological, and social aspects of addiction, ensuring a holistic recovery strategy. We are committed to providing care that resonates deeply with each individual and effectively supports them throughout their recovery journey, ensuring each aspect of their condition and personal circumstances, including housing, is thoughtfully considered.

Cornerstone’s Supportive Housing Program offers a holistic treatment approach to addiction recovery in a supportive environment. It combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help residents change negative thought patterns, regulate emotions and relationships, and build lasting motivation through motivational interviewing. The program also emphasizes life skills training—including job readiness and financial management—and integrates group therapy, family counseling, and experiential therapies like art or music. This comprehensive method supports residents in achieving a balanced and sustainable recovery.

Our Supportive Housing Program strongly emphasizes aftercare and ongoing support to ensure lasting recovery beyond initial treatment. This includes a comprehensive aftercare component that provides residents with continued access to individual therapy sessions, group therapy, and wellness activities tailored to reinforce recovery principles. Additionally, residents who complete the program are encouraged to stay connected through our vibrant community network. This network hosts regular meetings, workshops, and social gatherings, fostering a sense of belonging and mutual support important for maintaining sobriety and promoting long-term wellness.

FAQs About Supportive Housing

Get answers to the most commonly asked questions about our Supportive Housing Program.

What is the difference between Supportive Housing and Sober Living?

Supportive Housing and Sober Living are two distinct types of environments that cater to individuals in different stages of recovery with various needs.

Supportive Housing provides a highly structured setting with integrated therapeutic services, including professional mental health support, personalized treatment plans, and comprehensive aftercare.

This option is ideal for those who require a higher level of care and support.

On the other hand, Sober Living provides a more independent living situation with fewer structured supports, making it suitable for individuals who are further along in their recovery journey and capable of managing more autonomy.

Both options aim to foster long-term sobriety, but they cater to different levels of recovery readiness and personal circumstances.

What is included in the Supportive Housing Program at Cornerstone?

In addition to meeting the requirements of their respective treatment programs (such as PHP, IOP, etc.), the Supportive Housing Program includes comfortable, sober living accommodations integrated with therapeutic support.

Residents follow a structured schedule that provides for various therapies such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing.

Along with treatment, the program emphasizes life skills development such as job readiness, financial management, and everyday practical tasks like grocery shopping.

Group Therapy, Family Counseling, and Experiential Therapies such as art or music are also available to help residents recover comprehensively and holistically.

Community activities further support residents in developing a sense of belonging and mutual support, which is essential for long-term sobriety.

Who is eligible for the Supportive Housing Program?

The Supportive Housing Program is designed for individuals who are dealing with substance abuse and/or alcohol addiction and are actively participating in our Partial Hospitalization or Intensive Outpatient Programs (including the less intense Outpatient Program).

Eligibility for this program includes those who may not have safe or stable housing due to addiction issues, providing them with a secure environment where they can focus on recovery.

The program is tailored to meet the needs of adults who are ready to engage in a structured recovery process, with personalized care plans that address the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of addiction.

This supportive environment is important for individuals who require a stable living situation to complement their ongoing treatment and support their journey toward long-term sobriety.

Does insurance cover the Supportive Housing Program at Cornerstone?

You will need to pay an initial deductible as specified by your insurance plan.

Additionally, the program fosters community support through regular group meetings and social activities among residents.

This community is important for emotional support and accountability.
