The Journey Begins at Cornerstone

Aviation Drug and Alcohol Rehab Program

Charting the Path to Long-Term Recovery

The Aviation Drug and Alcohol Rehab Program at Cornerstone of Recovery is specifically designed to help airline employees struggling with addiction find their path to recovery and confidently return to the skies.

Whether a pilot, flight attendant, air traffic controller, or ground crew member, the precision and patience needed for a successful flight puts enormous pressure on aviation professionals. The long hours filled with high-demand physical and mental responsibilities make the desire to take the edge off a natural response. However, the dangers are incomprehensible when drug or alcohol abuse is the outlet of choice.
