Recognizing addiction and deciding to seek help are important first steps towards recovery. At Cornerstone of Southern California, our approach to addiction treatment is designed to guide clients through long-term addiction treatment, helping to transition from detox to lifelong sobriety. Here is an overview of what to expect after detox, emphasizing the importance of continued support and care.
Treatment at our Medical Detox Center in Orange County, CA, begins with an in-depth personalized assessment that lays the foundation for a personalized rehabilitation plan. This phase helps our caregivers and doctors understand the specific needs and challenges of each client. After initial assessments, clients may undergo medically assisted detox, especially if they are dealing with dependencies on substances with severe withdrawal symptoms such as opioids, meth, or alcohol. Our medical professionals closely monitor this process, providing medication-assisted treatment (MAT) when necessary to ease withdrawal symptoms and support physical stabilization.
After completing detox, the journey to recovery should continue through a structured sequence designed to provide the necessary support for lasting change. This progression ensures that each individual receives tailored care suited to their specific needs, paving the way for a successful recovery. Here are the steps that follow detox in our comprehensive treatment program:
Post-detox, clients typically move to our Inpatient Rehab in Orange County, CA. This stage offers a structured environment where clients receive comprehensive care that includes mental health counseling, group therapy, and continued support. This setting is ideal for those needing intensive support to address complex addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders.
As clients progress, transitioning to an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Orange County, CA allows them to continue their recovery while reintegrating into their daily lives. Our IOP in Orange County provides flexible but structured treatment, maintaining a high level of care through ongoing therapy sessions scheduled around work or family commitments.
Sustaining recovery and preventing relapse is a long-term endeavor. Cornerstone facilitates access to licensed sober living homes in Orange County, offering a supportive living environment that complements the recovery process. Additionally, our Extended Care Program (ECP) provides further support, focusing on relapse prevention and adjustment to everyday life after treatment.
Long-term success in recovery is reinforced through continuous engagement with support systems. Cornerstone’s recovery support groups and Alumni Program offer a network of peers and ongoing activities that foster a community of recovery. Our Relapse Prevention Therapy (RPT) and other support services equip clients with the tools to manage potential triggers and maintain long-term sobriety.
Recovery from addiction is a lifelong journey. The transition from structured treatment settings back into everyday life can be challenging. That’s why continuous support through programs like sober living, outpatient care, and community support groups is critical. They provide a safety net and a sense of community that can significantly enhance the resilience and well-being of individuals in recovery.
At Cornerstone of Southern California, founded by Dr. Michael Stone in 1984, we are committed to providing a comprehensive approach to addiction treatment.

If you can’t stop taking a drug even if you want to, or if the urge to use drugs is too strong to control, even if you know the drug is causing harm, you might be addicted. The NIDA has put together some questions to ask yourself:
If the answer to some or all of these questions is yes, you might have an addiction. People from all backgrounds can get an addiction. Addiction can happen at any age, but it usually starts when a person is young. Read more HERE.
