About Cornerstone

Cornerstone is an alcohol and drug addiction treatment facility located in Fresh Meadows and Queens, New York. They believe addiction is a disease and that living a lifelong maintenance program is important for continued success.

Cornerstone offers medically supervised detox, inpatient treatment, and aftercare services.

The medically supervised detoxification program at Cornerstone is a 24/7 monitored detox process that allows for safety and as much comfort as possible while removing the addictive substance from the body. This is an inpatient program that involved medications to support the process. Upon completion of the detox, an inpatient treatment plan may be needed.

The inpatient treatment program at Cornerstone offers medical, nursing, and counseling services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The chemical dependency and rehabilitation services are designed to help develop the necessary skills to maintain a clean and sober lifestyle. The process begins with a comprehensive biopsychosocial evaluation. From here, an independently catered treatment plan will be developed. If medications are needed for opioid drugs, they will be prescribed and monitored. The inpatient program will also provide mental health treatment to work through the mental and emotional aspects of the addiction.

At Cornerstone, the Medication Assisted Treatment Program provides medications along with comprehensive medical, psychiatric, and behavioral counseling. FDA approved medications are used to support withdrawal from opioid drugs and to help maintain long term abstinence. By combining medication with mental health treatment, a greater chance of success is achieved for long term abstinence.

All those who attend Cornerstone treatment programs are provided a discharge plan that includes referrals to outside mental health and substance use disorder treatment organizations. The intention is to help create a solid foundation based in recovery with a healthy and supportive network. Regular attendance at self help groups and the re-establishment of positive relationships with loved ones greatly improve the likelihood of success post treatment in comparison to those who do not have this level of support.

Patient was at the faculty for 4 days for GBL addiction. He saw no actual doctor besides maybe when he first checked in. The staff had no idea what GBL even was. They took him from 2mg attivan to .5 to none (because it seems they forgot) in under 24 hours. They left him stranded in a hot room all day with a cot and 3 other patients. He had money stolen. This rehab facility is garbage. They are negligent.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
24-hour icon24 Hour Clinical Care
At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
12-step icon12-Step
Participants in 12 step programs maintain access to community-based peer support, which is the programs' primary treatment modality. 12 step recovery combines personal growth with paper coaching. Participants regularly attend group meetings, which are free, anonymous, open to the public, and available multiple times per day in most communities. They are also mentored by self-selected sponsors who guide them through the steps of recovery. Age and gender specific and other specialized formats are common.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

When you choose drug rehab in New York, you'll participate in a variety of treatments that are designed to help you live a drug-free lifestyle. Common methods of treatment include group, individual, and family counseling, medication management, nutrition, exercise, and management of co-occurring mental health disorders.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

I am a social worker in a diversion program for the Manhattan Criminal Court. Cornerstone has become our go to program to assist with our folks in the community who need to be stabilized, detox and rehabilitation. Staff is responsive and helpful, and they always go the extra mile to get our clients admitted. They often will also pick our clients up directly from court!

Nasty place, I don t recommend, they treat you like if you are a prisoner. I went there on my own for help because I got addicted to Xanax because of my bad anxiety . I was never told does pills are addictive, I am a hard working person I don t hang in the streets and, I was treated like if I was there because of a court order. Most of the patients there just go for a place to stay or the nasty meals that they give, I also noticed they charged my insurance for some services I didn t get. DON T GO, THEY DON T CARE .IT S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!!! CLOSE THAT PLACE DOWN!!!! ( I gave it a 1 star only because I had to but they deserve no stars )

Nast staff that talk badly to clients. Mostly just ghetto trash work here. Go to a detox in a hospital avoid places like these. Most people who come here are homeless or court mandated and many are violent offenders who spent years in prison. Nothing to do but watch TV all day. There's no meaningful groups or any one on one.
