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.

Who We Treat

We understand that for many, working in the airline industry is part of their identity. In addition to proven treatment methods, our Aviation Program offers a community of peers and professionals with the common goal of ensuring a patient’s substance use disorder diagnosis isn’t the end of a rewarding career. From admission to aftercare, our program liaisons are there to navigate every step of the treatment process.

Our Aviation Program Treats:

    • Pilots
    • Flight Attendants
    • Air Traffic Controllers
    • Ground Crew
