Residential Rehabilitation

The Residential Rehabilitation Program (RRP) provides long-term, structured housing and rehabilitative support for adults living with serious mental illness. RRP combines independent living with staff guidance to help residents strengthen daily routines, manage symptoms, and build confidence.

Participants learn practical life skills such as cooking, budgeting, and self-care—while receiving ongoing counseling and case management. The goal is not just stability, but growth: moving from dependency toward full independence and community participation.

For many residents, RRP represents the first place they’ve felt truly at home, a foundation for rebuilding purpose and belonging.

All referrals for RRP services originate with the Local Behavioral Health Authority (LBHA) who review applications, and manage the wait list for Montgomery County. The LBHA will refer individuals to Cornerstone if there is an open placement that would meet that individual’s needs and recovery goals. Once an application is received, our intake department will contact the individual to set up a needs assessment. Applicants will participate in a visit process where they meet with the staff, peers, and entitlements department to gain a better understanding of their benefits as well as program expectations. During this visit process staff will meet with the applicant to assess their individual needs and appropriateness for the placement. This is also a time for the applicant to determine if this placement is a good fit for them. Visits typically last between 5-7 days, after which the supervisor and manager meet to discuss how the visits went and whether the client will benefit from RRP services.

We have two specialized RRP sites – Dialectical Behavior Treatment (DBT) and Integrated Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders (ITCOD).
