About Cornerstone Recovery Center – Fort Lauderdale
Cornerstone Recovery Center is a drug and alcohol addiction center located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. They provide mental health and substance use disorder treatment through a wide continuum of care that supports both the early and late stages of addiction.
Cornerstone Recovery Center offers partial hospitalization, outpatient programming, medication assisted treatment, and dual diagnosis mental health services.
Partial Hospitalization is a day treatment program that is highly structured yet allows for the flexibility of returning home in the evening. This program requires that there is no immediate danger that would require inpatient hospitalization. It incorporates clinical treatment practices for addiction, such as medications, individual and group therapy, and trauma related counseling. Evidence based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing are incorporated into the treatment process.
Outpatient treatment programming is a more flexible approach to addiction treatment that is a step down from Partial Hospitalization Programs and Intensive Outpatient Programs. This service provides continued support for addiction recovery through individual therapy, group therapy, and educational classes on addiction and recovery. Medications may be managed, and for those in need, trauma support may also be offered. The goal is to continue to move toward a life of recovery and a suitable aftercare treatment plan that allows for reintegration back into society.
At Aspire Health Partners, 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.
Dual Diagnosis, often referred to as having co-occurring disorders, is when two or more mental health concerns present themselves simultaneously. It is very common for those who struggle with addiction to also have an underlying mental health concern such as anxiety, depression, or a diagnosable psychiatric disorder. Without proper treatment of the mental health issue at hand, getting and staying sober can be difficult. By treating both the substance use disorder and the mental health needs concurrently, a greater chance for long term sobriety is achieved.
