A primary goal at Corner Canyon Health Centers is to assess and treat underlying genetic, biological, and medical problems that interfere with good mental and physical health.
We provide the best mental health treatment possible, however if the underlying issues are still present at the completion of treatment, the chances of maintaining progress can be significantly lower.
To address that, we have developed a holistic approach to nutrition and diet.
The holistic approach to nutrition reflects a quest for optimal health that considers the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. This is grounded in the belief that these three dimensions are interconnected and that your entire well-being is directly influenced by what you eat.
The overarching goal is not just to prevent disease but to achieve vibrant physical and mental health, energy, and balance. Holistic nutrition emphasizes the quality of food, its source, and how it interacts with your unique body.
The health of your digestive system (the gut) is paramount. A healthy gut microbiome (the community of microorganisms in the gut) is linked to improved immunity, hormone regulation, and more.
Most importantly, it is linked to mental health via the gut-brain axis, a two-way communication system that connects the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system. A fundamental part of improving mental health is having the right bacteria in our gut, since 90% of our serotonin and 50% of our dopamine are created in the gut.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter known as the “feel-good chemical” that plays a vital role in mood, sleep, appetite, and digestion, among other functions in the brain and body. Low serotonin levels are linked to depression. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter and hormone known for its role in the brain’s reward system, influencing motivation, pleasure, mood, and attention. Imbalances in dopamine levels are linked to ADHD and addiction, among other conditions.
Holistic nutrition promotes a diet rich in fiber, as well as foods that are high in probiotics and prebiotics, to support the gut microbiome and the gut-brain axis.
The foundation is eating foods as close to their natural state as possible. Think vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and high-quality animal products (if consumed). This maximizes nutrient intake and minimizes exposure to additives, preservatives, and refined sugars.
There is no single “perfect diet” for everyone. A holistic approach recognizes that each person has unique nutritional needs based on their genetics, age, gender, activity level, health status, culture, and even climate. What works for one person may not work for another.
It matters how and where your food is grown. Consuming locally grown produce where possible, whether grown yourself or purchased, maintains the highest quality of nutrients by reducing transportation times and refrigeration.
Prioritizes organic produce to reduce exposure to pesticides and herbicides.
Supports local farmers and often means food is fresher and more nutrient-dense.
Considers the environmental and ethical impact of food choices, including animal welfare and regenerative farming practices.
How you eat is as important as what you eat. This involves:
This concept, drawn from traditions like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), suggests that whole, fresh foods contain vital energy that is transferred to us when we eat them. Highly processed foods are considered “dead” foods with little to no life force.
Today’s contemporary diet can lead to a deficit of the good bacteria, and Corner Canyon’s philosophy about food includes packing as many nutrients as possible into a delicious array of food options at every meal.
While we can accommodate dietary concerns, our goal is to gradually increase the health of the stomach biome by incorporating healthier foods into our client’s diet.
A healthy gut biome is built by eating prebiotics and probiotics. While we offer supplements to help with this, the most effective way to improve the gut is by eating food that can create the scaffolding to allow healthy bacteria to grow, and by eating foods that contain all the nutrients the gut needs to grow the healthy bacteria.
A typical meal at Corner Canyon can contain over 20 foods, combined by our amazing chefs into delicious, appealing meals. We focus on whole foods, with many vegetables coming from our garden, and we limit the processed foods with simple carbs (mostly foods like white pasta, white bread, rice, sugar and many others).

My experience at Corner Canyon to put it simply, was life changing. The program gave me a structure to set a solid foundation for my life outside of treatment. The people that are involved with Corner Canyon are amazing. From the staff, to the clients, these people quickly began to feel like family. This place felt like home to me. I truly was cared for in a way that I had never been before. I can honestly say that in the 62 days I was there I didn’t have a single bad day, and that to me speaks volumes. I’m grateful to have had the experience that I did. To anyone who is looking for help – I would heavily recommend going to Corner Canyon.

I arrived at Corner Canyon during the worst depressive episode of my life. I had no hope and felt disconnected from everything. I’m a therapist, and I had been doing all the “right” things to care for myself. But sometimes self-care is simply not enough.
Corner Canyon met me where I was and crawled with me until I could walk again. Literally. One mentor sat on the floor beside my bed and talked to me when I didn’t yet have the strength to regularly go out into the common areas. Another mentor coaxed stories out of me and excitedly shared them with other staff. He reminded me of how much time I had spent serving others and made sure I knew how valuable my service had been. Little by little, connections with staff and clients helped my find myself again.
Because, above all else, Corner Canyon was where I rediscovered the power of human connection. Yes, the treatment was top-notch. Yes, the food served was beyond delicious and healthy. But it was the way in which the treatment was provided, the food was served, and the connections were forged that made all the difference.
Specific techniques treated my depression, but so did the stories of healing and recovery told by therapists, house staff, and other clients. Healers have often been wounded at one point in their lives.
There’s a lot of stigma attached to mental illness, even, sadly, among mental health providers. I was worried I was going to be looked down upon. But what makes Corner Canyon so special is that you will get to know your pain in a welcoming, non-judgmental space. All kinds of people go to Corner Canyon for treatment. And that’s because the treatment center is grounded in acceptance and professionalism.
At Corner Canyon, you will come to realize the power of vulnerability, the healing that comes from meaningful connection, and the love that binds us all together.

When I came to Corner Canyon I was lost. I was 31 years old, struggling with addiction issues and my own mental health, and didn’t know which way to turn. I was very fortunate to land here. Through the help of some people who loved and cared about me, they got me in the doors of this wonderful program.
I was nervous at first, but I soon realized I was amongst peers who were feeling and going through the same things, which put me at ease. I was surrounded by staff who themselves had been through their own treatment and had such compassion and support for me and my well-being.
The Clinical team is wonderful and they are all highly trained experts. They practice many different modalities and with that they were able to get to the core of my issues to treat both my trauma, and subsequently my substance abuse. They did this with such grace, compassion, and empathy, that I always felt they had my best care in mind.
I could write forever about how this place changed my life, but the reality is that there would never be enough words. This program, it’s wonderful staff, and the people who come here make this place more than just a rehabilitation center. It’s a home. I found myself here, I found my tribe, and I was able to unlock decades worth of trauma that led me to a life I didn’t want to lead. After coming here I found the life I always wanted, and it started at Corner Canyon.

Corner Canyon has put together an excellent residential program. I need a comprehensive program that addressed my health and mental health with cutting edge treatment — they exceeded my expectations. With the continuum of health, mental health, and wellness services offered – they truly individualized my treatment plan. They have an excellent, well-trained staff that genuinely care. I wish I had found them 5, 10 years ago it would have saved me a lot of heart ache. I feel ALOT better than I have felt in sometime and as I continue to take care of myself, I am confident I will be an even better version of myself. Michelle Feb-Mar 2023

So it doesn’t sound so cliche I won’t say this place saved my life. But I will say this place saved my future!! There are no descriptive words that exist that hold enough volume to describe how extraordinarily phenomenal this place is! They get it, they listen! It kind of feels like the beginning of an awesome horror movie when you first get there cause everyone is so nice, kind, and caring you’re waiting for the ball to drop. Then you realize they are truly that kind & caring! (I have severe trust issues) I never thought I could ever get better so there was no point in going for help because I have been through so much trauma that there wasn’t any facility out there that could handle the magnitude and complex trauma I have endured. However I was wrong! The mentors, I seriously will never be able to thank them enough for listening to my emotional babble some days & they never made me feel like they needed to run off & do the other work they had to do or nothing! Liz & Dom the two on the front line that you only really interact with when you’re checking in. They deserve a lot of recognition & praise that I don’t think they get very often! The fact I struggle with anxiety & answering my phone most days fills me with dread & fear even though I’m the one who emailed the treatment center that was on my caller ID I still froze & couldn’t answer & felt dumb for even reaching out for help. Then the debilitating depression & shame would set in cause I didn’t pick up the phone would set in & I would get so angry at myself! It was a vicious cycle! Up until the day Liz text me & she never left me alone (haha I’m forever grateful for that) it was like chatting with a new friend. After her portion of the admissions process was done I was passed off to Dom, who again never left me alone! The ease & friendly chatting made it easier to commit to checking in. And I did it, I went to Corner Canyon & checked in & it was by far the best thing I’ve ever done for myself! The first week I was there Adam who is a mentor there (I won’t elaborate but…) did something for me that I’ve never had anyone do for me, that was thought of me. I always take care of everyone in my life & make sure they have what they need & they’re okay before myself. Usually not leaving time for myself. But for the first time in 46 years someone thought of me first. It was such a small gesture, but will forever make a monumental impact in my life. That day sealed my fate! I could stay at Corner Canyon, I could complete the program! They really did care! I have so much more to say about every single person there! But this is supposed to be a review, not a novel of my life so I will end this by saying, what you got to lose?! I can 100% guarantee that your worst day at Corner Canyon will still be 10 times easier than your worst day before you got there!

Wow, Corner Canyon Health Centers truly changed my life. I truly entered with not a thought of wanting to live, and I left today and I have SO many reasons now. The staff goes out of their way to not only connect with you, but care for you. They are amazing at taking feedback and truly care about the experience their clients have. You truly do become a family, the community I met while in CCHC will always be with me. I know I made the right choice coming to CCHC they truly saved my life in more ways than one. I couldn’t thank them properly even if I tried. CCHC is the right next step, I promise you will not regret it.

Unfortunately after a few days my mom went south quickly and I had to leave. AWESOME STAFF AND FACILITY, area is beautiful. Hard to leave. Highly recommend this facility. From Liz to the therapists to the medical and house staff! 11/10

Corner Canyon helped changed my trajectory in life. I was headed for disaster . Corner Caynon helped me see that I had more potential than I could ever see for myself. Chris assisted me with Ketamine assisted therapy and he helped me transorm my mindset from negative to positive. I’m so grateful for all Corner Canyon for helping me find myself again!

I spent 30 days at corner canyon and overall had a great experience. There was an amazing group of clients and we all got so close which was really added to my experience. Some highlights were Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights, we would do a really engaging activity. I always looked forward to getting out of the house and doing the activities.
The process groups were also really worthwhile and helpful. The process groups were a safe place for clients to share and be vulnerable. I also learned a lot during the second half of groups where they would teach us some skills. The group of staff is amazing too. They are all so sweet and supportive. All the staff really helped make it a better experience. I left with so many new skills and it a significantly better place. The house made it like a really homey safe space. I’d highly recommend this program.
