About Cornerstone
Alpha Oaks Cornerstone provides substance abuse care for women 18 and older in Carmichael, California. They have a 23-bed facility where women focus on recovery without outside distractions. Cornerstone accepts self-pay and some state-financed health insurance plans.
Non-Medical Treatment
Cornerstone provides non-medical care that emphasizes personal responsibility. Their counseling offers education on the disease of addiction and how it affects thinking patterns and social skills.
Residents attend 12-step meetings, like Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous, to accept accountability for past behaviors and interact with others who share the goal of long-term sobriety. You’ll learn to identify your triggers and develop healthy coping mechanisms for managing your stress.
Connection and Community
Addiction affects people in different ways, but many face isolation. Cornerstone believes in connection in a safe, serene setting. Clients will share meals and time with other women while forming friendships and connections that help them maintain a sober lifestyle.
The facility has a home-like atmosphere, so everyone remains comfortable while working on recovery. They also have household chores that keep them engaged and instill discipline that will support their overall recovery. Residents clean the facility, take care of their laundry, prepare daily meals and clean the kitchen.
It isn’t all about structure at Cornerstone. Guests have leisure time on the weekends, along with planned activities with other residents. They want clients to discover new passions and choices that help them stay sober long-term. One reviewer appreciated that the staff always treated them with respect and kindness.
