How We Treat Substance Abuse

Cornerstone’s telehealth addiction treatment is designed for adults and teens across Arizona. Our online IOP typically lasts for 8 weeks, depending on your individual needs. During that time you’ll participate in one-on-one counseling and group therapy designed to strengthen coping skills, create healthy routines, manage triggers, and boost overall well-being.

We utilize modalities backed by science, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help change negative behavior patterns and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to enhance emotional regulation and coping skills. Our team takes a personalized approach to treatment, which ensures you receive specialized care tailored to your unique needs.Substance abuse is usually a symptom of a larger issue rather than the core problem. So, our program addresses the underlying causes, such as mental health conditions or past trauma, offering a supportive path toward healing and long-term recovery.

Is Substance Abuse Telehealth Right For You?

Substance use challenges can affect many areas of your life, including relationships, work performance, physical health, and emotional wellbeing. While everyone’s experience is different, there are common signs that may indicate professional support could be beneficial. Online treatment may be an appropriate option for individuals who need structured care but also require the flexibility to continue managing daily responsibilities such as work, school, or family obligations.

Some common signs of addiction may include:

  • Difficulty controlling or reducing substance use
  • Increased tolerance or needing more of a substance to feel its effects
  • Experiencing cravings or strong urges to use
  • Withdrawal symptoms when not using substances
  • Neglecting responsibilities at home, work, or school
  • Continuing to use substances despite negative consequences
  • Isolation from family, friends, or activities once enjoyed
  • Changes in mood, sleep, motivation, or overall mental health


Virtual addiction treatment can provide consistent clinical support, therapy, accountability, and recovery education in a convenient online setting. For individuals who are medically stable and motivated to engage in treatment remotely, online care can be an effective step toward long-term recovery. Get in touch with our team to learn whether this level of care is right for you!

Read from our Testimonials

What Are The Most Common Types Of Substance Use Disorders?

The most common types of substance use disorders include alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder, and stimulant use disorder. Alcohol use disorder involves problematic drinking patterns that impact daily life. Opioid use disorder is characterized by the misuse of prescription painkillers or heroin, leading to dependency. Stimulant use disorder includes the abuse of drugs like cocaine and methamphetamine, causing significant health and social issues. Each of these disorders requires specialized treatment to address the unique challenges they present.

A combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors causes Substance Use Disorders. Genetics can make some individuals more susceptible to addiction, while environmental influences such as peer pressure, trauma, and stress can trigger substance use. Psychological factors, including mental health disorders like depression and anxiety, often contribute to the development of substance use disorders. The interplay of these elements creates a complex situation where individuals turn to substances as a coping mechanism, leading to dependency and addiction.

Treatment options for substance use disorders include a combination of therapies and support systems tailored to the individual’s needs. Common approaches are behavioral therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which help change harmful patterns of thinking and behavior. Medication can also be effective, using medications to manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings during the beginning stages of recovery. Support groups and peer counseling provide additional emotional and social support. Comprehensive programs often integrate these methods to provide a holistic approach to recovery, addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction.

Therapy is highly effective in treating substance use disorders, providing individuals with the tools and strategies needed for recovery. Behavioral therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are particularly successful in changing negative thought patterns and behaviors associated with addiction. These therapies help individuals develop coping skills, manage cravings, and address underlying issues contributing to substance use. Therapy also offers a supportive environment for exploring personal challenges and fostering resilience. When combined with other treatments like medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and support groups, therapy significantly enhances the chances of achieving and maintaining long-term recovery.

The Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (VIOP) for substance abuse treatment offers several key benefits. It provides flexible and accessible care, allowing individuals to receive intensive therapy from the comfort of their own homes, which is especially helpful for those with busy schedules or transportation challenges. VIOP combines individual, group, and family therapy sessions, ensuring a comprehensive approach to treatment. This program uses evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop effective coping strategies and emotional regulation skills. The virtual format also fosters a sense of community and support, connecting participants with others who are facing similar challenges. Overall, VIOP offers a convenient, effective, and supportive environment for achieving and maintaining recovery.

Yes, transitioning from VIOP to in-person therapy sessions is definitely possible. We understand that your needs may change over time, and we are committed to providing continuity of care. If at any point you feel that in-person sessions would be beneficial, we will work with you to make that transition as smooth as possible. Our goal is to ensure that you receive the care that best fits your needs and preferences, whether that’s through VIOP, in-person sessions, or a combination of the two.
