We are a dormitory-style facility with 14 beds for men in recovery, designed to foster brotherhood, accountability, and personal growth. Our residents benefit from a supportive, sober community with clear structure and expectations to help them stay on track.

​

Amenities include Wi-Fi, a private fishing pond, outdoor garden space, designated smoking areas, shared living spaces, a gym, and laundry access. We also provide opportunities for recovery meetings, life skills development, and peer support to encourage long-term success.

More than just a place to stay, our home is a place to rebuild, refocus, and move forward in recovery.

About our Program

Cornerstone Lodge Recovery Program: Four-Stage Progress Plan

​

At Cornerstone Lodge, recovery is more than getting sober — it’s a wellness journey of growth, accountability, and hope. Our program is built on a structured, one-year model divided into four 90-day stages, each designed to help residents build stability, develop purpose, and prepare for lasting independence.

Every 90 days, residents participate in a Quarterly Progress Review — a time to reflect on growth, set new goals, and celebrate milestones. Upon completing all four stages, residents are honored in a Graduation Ceremony, recognizing their commitment to living a life beyond recovery.

Stage 1: Foundation Phase (Days 1–90)

Focus: Stabilization, Structure, and Surrender

Goals:

  • Develop daily routines and personal accountability

  • Engage your spiritual wellness and/or faith-based recovery activities

  • Create an individualized recovery and wellness plan

  • Build trust within the Cornerstone community

  • Maintain sobriety and complete all program requirements

 

Quarterly Review 1:
Evaluate stability, participation, and early progress. Identify areas for personal growth and faith development.
