Your Sobriety, Your Way: A Spectrum of Therapeutic Options
Treating Addiction in Our Railroaders
Cornerstone staff used their collective knowledge and background in the railroad industry and substance use to create a program made for railroaders. Our Railroad Program focuses on the unique workplace circumstances that lead railroaders to abuse substances. We address the irregular schedules, constant travel, isolation, and stress that come with a safety-sensitive vocation.
Peer Support
In individual and group therapy sessions with other railroaders, we address personal and workplace circumstances contributing to substance abuse.
Fitness & Activity Therapy
Fitness, meditation, yoga, spirituality groups, rope courses, art, and music are just some of the experiential activities we offer at Cornerstone to amplify traditional therapy.
