What “Essential Touchstones” Means

At Essential Touchstones, our name reflects our philosophy of care. A touchstone is something that provides stability, grounding, and reassurance — a reminder of what is real and essential when life feels uncertain or overwhelming.

In recovery from mental health and substance use challenges, everyone needs a solid foundation to return to — a set of core essentials that support healing and growth. These essentials include emotional awareness, healthy coping skills, supportive relationships, and a sense of purpose.

We believe in teaching skills before pills — empowering individuals and families with the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and resilience. Medication can be an important support when necessary, but true recovery begins with understanding yourself, building healthy habits, and creating a strong foundation that endures even when life gets tough.

At Essential Touchstones, we help each person identify and strengthen their own touchstones — the essential anchors that promote balance, hope, and lasting recovery.
