Cornerstone has been helping Alcoholics and Drug addicts find recovery, and heal families since 1984. during that time, and as many family members.
Our clients are young, middle and old aged and come from many different backgrounds, culturally, educationally and financially.
Our clients are successful business people who allowed the stress of today’s 24/7 work requirements to push them to drinking alcohol or using drug to the point that it impaired the very life they were working for.
Our clients are the employed and unemployed, some work at large corporations, some are in school, some are well known, and most are unknown. They all have the same problems with this disease and their self esteem has sunk so low many also suffer from depression.
Our clients are men who are about to lose their families, or jobs.
Our clients are women, who are about to lose their children.
Both these men and women have already lost their self respect.
The common denominators in all of them are the comments we receive after they have been to Cornerstone. I am pleased to present a few of these comments on our webpage. Perhaps something will hit home and help you make the decision to come to Cornerstone for help for yourself or a family member.
Read some of our clients comments:
“When I came to Cornerstone, I was in serious trouble with my job, family, the courts and with myself. I had spent 80% of my life involved with drugs and alcohol, which is almost 40 years. I knew of no true way of living life without them.
Today I have been clean and sober for more than 2 years. I have never been happier in all phases of my life. What was shown to me here at Cornerstone was everything I needed to turn my world around and how to maintain this new found life.
I truly wish to thank the Cornerstone family for all your help and support. You have been a true blessing for me, still to this day.“ .
