What Clients Say About Xanax Additction Rehab at Cornerstone
I wound up in Cornerstone's Alternative Sentencing Program. I had two Case Managers while I was there: Robert M and Crystal O. They did their job quite differently and yet both were powerfully effective.
Fast forward twenty-five years: I continue the sobriety Cornerstone gave me through the strong boundaries and support of their program and staff. I also now work 'in the field' of addiction recovery as an author and communicator.
As a professional, I enthusiastically recommend all of Cornerstone's programs, with special mention of the integrity of their Alternative Sentencing Program headed by Dr. Stephanie Herring; a renowned leader in this life-saving work.

She was there for us in our scariest moments and stood by our family through it all! She was truly a guardian angel and has helped thousands of people and their families.
Dr. Herring continues to stay in contact with us and shows us nothing but genuine love and support! We LOVE her and are so grateful for her support through all the court proceedings and her heart and compassion. She has become part of our family!❤️
We’d recommend Cornerstone to anyone that needs substance abuse and mental health treatment who have legal charges.
They really sincerely care about you.
And if you're serious about getting your life changed, I recommend Cornerstone.

The Food was awesome. I was able to quit my job that was driving me nuts and finally follow my dream of coaching full time in the sport I love. I have no doubt Cornerstone saved my life, I have no doubt I'd be dead if it wasn't for them. Thanks to Titus, Maria, Diane, my counselor Raul, Jennifer at intake, all the drivers whose name I forgot. God bless you all, 1228 days straight and I'm not looking back. I can't recommended this place anymore, if your sick of it all and ready to move on, Go to Cornerstone.
My suggestion for anybody that is planning on coming here is to do this for yourself and not no one else because when you fix whatever you have going on mentally or emotionally and get the tools that will help you succeed in turbulent times you will be successful not only one day at a time But you will also have a beautiful journey up ahead.
-Difficult roads lead to beautiful beginnings-
I came in very uncomfortable, as expected. But I had all of my questions answered, given the tour, shown the schedule, and introduced to people and other elements, in line with my comfort level.
Aside from the staff, they allow you to live with and establish co-dependency with other patients. Some with very similar problems, and some with a different set. Group sessions, activities, and living together all come down to one commonality though - finding the path and the strength to recovery.
A very special shout to Case Manager, Maria Carter too - I have never known anyone who exudes hope and positive energy like her. She listens to you, and hears you. Truly dedicated to making us successful.
The program’s evidence-based therapies with personalized attention, provided me with the tools and insights necessary to confront my addiction and reclaim control of my life. The therapeutic environment fostered a sense of community and understanding, allowing me to connect with others who were on similar paths.
Moreover, the facility’s amenities were top-notch, offering a comfortable and safe environment conducive to healing and self-reflection. The serene surroundings and well-appointed accommodations added to the overall positive experience.
Thanks to the comprehensive support and resources available at Cornerstone of Southern California, I have emerged stronger, healthier, and more hopeful than ever before. I wholeheartedly recommend this center to anyone seeking effective and compassionate treatment for addiction. It truly changed my life for the better.”
