Description
Dr. Stone began to notice that although these people were deemed medically fit and able to leave the hospital, they had not received the level of care necessary in order to maintain a long-lasting recovery. Many of the discharged patients would return to the hospital after only weeks of having been released, often in a worse state than they had been previously. Realizing that these patients needed a continuum of care upon leaving the hospital, Dr. Stone decided to set up a sober home to do just that. Thus Cornerstone of Southern California was born.
The first recovery home was designed to help clients abstain from drugs and alcohol while educating them about their disease and the triggers that could lead them back into substance abuse. Since its very inception, Dr. Stone realized the importance of relapse prevention and it has been a successful focal point for Cornerstone ever since.
Board-certified in addiction and family medicine, and pain management; Dr. Michael Stone is extremely passionate about the journey of recovery. He has had a career that is defined by his commitment to helping people in recovery from alcohol and drug addiction. He has treated over 50,000 addicts and alcoholics with compassion for each individual’s needs during his or her time seeking treatment at Cornerstone.
Dr. Michael Stone leads this institution with his expert staff who are all committed to outstanding service and helping those who need it most through difficult times. Since 1984, we have built an excellent reputation as one of the longest-running addiction treatment facilities in Southern California.
Cornerstone is a family-run treatment center that believes in the importance of community, connection, and family to maintain long-lasting recovery.
The staff at Cornerstone are experts in addiction and dual-diagnosis treatment. They provide high-quality care management services to individuals struggling with substance use disorders or addictions and mental health issues.
Over the years, we have attracted some of Orange County’s most senior medical and psychological professionals as our team members. They want to work here because our exceptional working conditions make for a great environment; they also enjoy being part of something important with close-knit camaraderie that feels like family.
The Cornerstone team is made up of some of the most highly skilled experts in our field. We treat chemical dependency and related addictions with care, compassion, and expertise. Our staff are all fully trained, certified professionals who will treat you with kindness while offering effective treatment options for your condition or problem.
The Cornerstone Alumni is a support group for those currently in treatment or who have been recently out of care.
At Cornerstone, we have witnessed people healing from addictions and families reuniting. Our Alumni program offers ongoing support on a long-term basis by ensuring our graduates don’t fall off the wagon or relapse once they leave campus – but instead, get welcomed with open arms into new life norms that will help them heal in ways only possible through community engagement!
The Cornerstone Alumni are a shining example of how sobriety can be fun, exciting, and worth sharing with others. They attend meetings, activities, or panels to show that they’re still in the game and flourishing in recovery.
Our Alumni program provides continuing guidance and encouragement to help with your recovery process as you begin building new habits that will sustain long-term sobriety.
We’re committed to helping each client feel like the most important person in our lives; because they are. That’s why we treat them with understanding, fairness, and professionalism at all times.
The residents of Cornerstone never stop working hard on their recovery; as well you know, it takes a village after all… But these people aren’t just statistics or broken automatons – They’re human beings who have feelings and emotions just like you (or maybe even worse than your own).
At Cornerstone, the work we do begins and ends with each client. This means that every single one of us is measured by how well every person is treated; this is what makes or breaks a person in recovery.
We treat everyone respectfully while also maintaining an air of dignity so as not to underwhelm those who deserve nothing less than excellence from themselves when dealing with the pains of recovery.
We provide detoxification, primary residential care, and extended-stay programs in addition to our day treatment and outpatient services. Our licensed recovery homes also accommodate your needs during this difficult time.
We have deep roots in the community and care deeply about our clients. We are nationally accredited by the Joint Commission, licensed & certified through the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) with recognition from courts around Orange County as well as many major employers locally and nationwide.
