Alcoholism Treatment & Alcohol Rehab Chattanooga TN

According to 2016 data from County Health Rankings compiled by the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Department of Health, more than one out of every five Hamilton County residents — 21 percent — admits to binge drinking or heavy drinking. While not everyone who drinks heavily is an alcoholic, every alcoholic is someone who drinks heavily, and those figures leave little room to doubt that there are many people who live in or near Chattanooga that need comprehensive alcoholism treatment.

Fortunately for those individuals, there's a nationally respected alcohol rehab less than two hours to the north via Interstate 75. Cornerstone of Recovery was founded in 1989, and over the past three decades, we've grown into one of the largest residential treatment providers in the state, accepting patients from across Tennessee — including many from Chattanooga who just need to get away for a while in order to get sober. They'll find sobriety and more on our picturesque, four facility campus, located on 25 acres between Knoxville and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We moved here in 2017, and it's our privilege to provide modest-yet-modern accommodations to those who come to us for help, whether they're sleeping in the rooms of our residence tower to eating meals in our dining hall overlooking the water to working out in our state-of-the-art fitness center.

We provide those amenities because we also expect them to do the work necessary to address the reasons behind their alcoholism. At Cornerstone, our alcoholism treatment is built on the concept that abstinence doesn't equal sobriety, because an individual's drinking problem is often tied up around issues, traumas, family struggles and life events that lead them to alcohol as a way to cope. At Cornerstone, we help them understand that to address their alcoholism, they need to address those other factors and replace drinking with healthier coping mechanisms. We teach them to do that in one of our four alcoholism treatment programs, to which they'll transition after 3 to 5 days of safe, comfortable, medically supervised detox: Newcomers, for first-time patients new to the recovery process; Recovery Renewal, for individuals who have attempted to get sober previously through other alcohol rehab stays or recovery programs but have fallen victim to relapse; Young Adult, a more active program for men ages 18 to 26; and our unique Women's Program, a safe space for female clients to work on issues unique to their gender.

In addition, we provide one-on-one counseling, peer support groups, 12 Step facilitation, dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health issues, activity therapy, family therapy (including a weekend of joint classes, lectures and therapy groups with family members who travel to campus to take part) and much, much more. At Cornerstone, we're so much more than just another alcohol rehab — because sobriety is about so much more than just stopping. If you're a resident who lives in or near Chattanooga, and you're in need of alcoholism treatment, then you owe it to yourself and your loved ones to check us out. We're in network with most major commercial and private health insurance plans, and our Admissions team is always willing to talk your through your financial options so that you can put down the bottle and pick up a new way to live.
