Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) Orange County
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a type of treatment model that provides a thorough level of care to individuals suffering from mental, behavioral, and substance use disorders without requiring complete hospitalization or staying at a treatment facility. For drug recovery, this can be an important part of a person’s transition back to a healthy, happy, and sober life.
Transitioning back to a healthy, sober life is just that – a transition. Cornerstone’s PHP is designed to support this transition by focusing on a patient’s independence while still providing structure in their recovery and we do this by offering partial hospitalization. Throughout the day, group and individual therapy sessions are available, however, a greater emphasis is placed on creating new and better coping strategies and a support system or strategy outside of the direct treatment setting.

Is PHP in Orange County right for me?
Because Cornerstone believes in working with patients to develop a plan that best suits them and their needs, this question can’t be answered with a simple yes or no. Instead, Cornerstone uses the free initial assessment to map out a treatment plan that may or may not include a stint with our Orange County PHP program. Oftentimes, detoxification is needed or an intensive outpatient program is a better option. Further, as drug rehab progresses, there might be times where a Partial Hospitalization Program in California makes more sense than others so we work directly with patients to answer this question on an ongoing basis.
Many of our patients live in and around Orange County so that they can participate in our Orange County PHP program while being in familiar surroundings and closer to home and work. Being close to and working with your active support network of loved ones can be a tremendous benefit for patients. Add to that the many enriching, non-drug-related activities available in Southern California and attending PHP in Orange County, California can make a lot of sense for those seeking recovery.
Cornerstone Rehab & PHP Reviews
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.”

How long does a PHP last?
The length of time a person spends engaged with a PHP varies greatly. At Cornerstone, we believe wholeheartedly that recovery is neither a race nor a competition. Rushing any stage of the treatment process can cause a relapse. With this in mind, the length of stay each person requires within our PHP is completely dependent on the needs of the individual. Our Orange County day treatment program runs seven days a week, but your personalized treatment plan will determine the number of days in the week that you need to attend. The aim is to maintain abstinence, build strength, and provide you with the tools that will propel you into a life free of drugs and alcohol.
What’s PHP in Orange County like? What can I expect from treatment?
Our comprehensive recovery program with leading addiction professionals will begin at 8:30 a.m. every day. Some of what you can expect is listed below:
- Group Therapy: Delivered by qualified addiction professionals these groups are designed to develop the essential skills needed for maintaining abstinence. Focusing on subjects such as relapse prevention, stress management, life skills, coping skills, and addiction education you are encouraged to listen, participate, and learn.
- Individual therapy: You will meet regularly with an assigned addictions therapist. Here you work intensively to further explore addiction and maintain abstinence.
- Medical assistance: A medical team is available to treat and care for you. Many clients still suffer from physical complications due to their substance abuse and require medical oversight during withdrawal and detox. Your comfort is important to us and we are confident in addressing any medical needs that arise.
- Planning for Aftercare: We encourage a client-led aftercare plan; together we begin to build the future. This can include things like our sober living homes right here in Southern California or participating in our alumni programs. Meeting your needs individually by making sure all bases are covered and having a solid aftercare plan in place can be the difference between life and death.
- Holistic Approach: Cornerstone’s holistic approach to addiction includes activities and sessions such as yoga, meditation and mindfulness, music, and art therapy along with a wide range of social activities. Used in conjunction with traditional treatment modalities, we are able to deliver a rounded and balanced program.
Days at Cornerstone PHP usually end mid-afternoon. Groups can be emotional as well as informative so time for reflection is advised. Make the most of your recovery community at Cornerstone by planning an activity for the evenings, whether that be attending a meeting or having fun; the free time granted by a PHP is best used constructively.
Am I Allowed to Go Home at Night?
Yes, but we have noticed that many clients find home life challenging, especially in early recovery. The chaos that addiction causes can make returning home difficult. Cornerstone provides licensed recovery homes; these are safe and sober environments that are perfectly situated for those engaging in our OC Partial Hospitalization Program. Remember—stable and supportive housing is vital in recovery.
Why Choose Cornerstone for Day Treatment/PHP?
Cornerstone has a fully integrated continuum of recovery services, including detoxification. If a client has difficulties with early recovery, they do not have to be transferred to another facility. Residents can move within the system for the most appropriate level of care at any time.
Recovery homes are safe, warm, and comforting. We are located 20 minutes from Newport Beach, 15 minutes from John Wayne Airport, and 15 minutes from Disneyland. Cornerstone homes are also close to many business establishments in Orange County, which allows for employment opportunities, social activities, and ease of transportation.
Cornerstone has a wide variety of 12-Step meetings in the local area and we boast 20 recovery homes that allow only six residents per home and two per bedroom. It is centrally located in Southern California in the safe, residential areas of Orange County.
Cornerstone has a large outpatient facility where we offer day and evening Programs for patients and families. We also offer Continuing Care, Aftercare, and Alumni meetings for our residents.
Day Treatment/Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Day treatment, or what many call PHP, is an opportunity for the client to transition out of medical detox, stabilization, or residential treatment to a less restrictive level of care, allowing them to experience more independent living for a few hours a day after treatment. It is set up similarly to the residential program during the day but is located at our outpatient offices. This program meets anywhere from 4 to 7 days a week, starting at 8:30 am and lasting through to the mid to late afternoon on some days.
Insurance companies often use this program to allow clients to continue in a daytime, highly structured, and therapeutically supported environment while allowing them to consider coupling with a licensed recovery residence instead of going back home. For many, this is an opportunity to gradually transition back to the community, have some independent 12-step meetings, go on outings with known sponsors or 12-step members, and have some space to allow for more social connections in recovery.
