Report
This place was full of bedbugs, the staff discriminated against religious beliefs and backgrounds as well as neglecting patients rights. The CEO came in and shook a patients hand and promised her she would not be bitten by bedbugs that night. The next morning her neck completely bitten and in tears she was Miss treated and all of her belongings were either destroyed or misplaced I do not recommend the center for treatment of addiction

I felt such a feeling of gratitude, relief and trust with an answer to many, many prayers for the recovery of my daughter after being sent to Cornerstone for Rehabilitation and Recovery from alcohol addiction, she was never guided incorrectly, I attended family therapy counseling with her and learned a lot in the process about this dread condition!
Therefore, I gladly recommend Cornerstone its new location and facilities anytime I am asked, not to mention its caring, helpful and well educated staff! They are to be commended for their dedication to the mission for recovering addiction!

This place saved my life. And has by far been one of the best decisions I've ever made going there. The staff made a lasting impact on my life and the therapy program truly helped me more than anything else. Helping me get to my root issues and helping me to overcome them. And Robin, by far is the best.
