Transitions

Addiction is a vital disease.  Most addicts either never get a chance to, or are unsuccessful in keeping the disease in remission. Recovery from addiction is a process that is rarely simple or easy.

Cornerstone residents will participate in multiple weekly group sessions including Big Book study group, morning meditation, on site and local 12 step meetings, as well as individual mentoring sessions.  Residents are also introduced to a higher level of structure and accountability. 

Residents will participate in our newly developed SOS Educational Classes.  This program focuses on many areas of the client’s life, ranging from social and family relationships, personal and professional goals, health/fitness, spirituality, and life stressors, to resume writing, job placement, time/money management, and independent living skills.

With one staff person for every three residents, the Cornerstone Program resident will receive the direction and supervision that will help ensure a a process for successful recovery.  They will interact with the residents on a more personal level.  The resident manager also oversees the performance of daily assignments and assists in developing individual vocational skills, along with helping facilitate community volunteer opportunities.

Since many of our residents come from all parts of the country, the helpful people at Cornerstone are here to make the transition to St. Paul's wonderful recovery community as easy as possible. 

The typical length of stay is ninety days. Then, often times, the Cornerstone resident will move on to one of Transition Homes' neighboring sober residences for a continued stay in a supportive environment.  This path to recovery is one that has proven to be very effective.

Once the initial stage of rehab is completed, the process has just begun.  Addiction recovery is a life-long commitment to a new lifestyle.
