About

About Cornerstone of Recovery

Cornerstone of Recovery sits on Airport Highway in Louisville, Tennessee — a Knoxville-area campus operating since 1989. The address and identity are confirmed by SAMHSA’s federal directory, Google’s listing (4.2 rating across 296 reviews), and Cornerstone’s own website. The program is Joint Commission accredited and provides a continuum from medical detox through residential treatment, partial hospitalization, and outpatient care under one roof.

Clinical leadership is named on the website: Shannon Jenkins serves as Chief Executive Officer, Sarah Joiner as Chief Operating Officer, Samantha Schalata as Clinical Director, and Kristina Rodgers as Director of Nursing. John Kupfner, MD, is Medical Director. Stephanie Hendren leads Admissions. The Railroad Program — distinctive to Cornerstone — is directed by Jill Burbidge, LCSW, LSUDC, SAP. The Professionals Program is directed by Dr. Janet Hicks.

What sets Cornerstone apart is the depth of specialty programming. Beyond standard adult residential care, the campus runs dedicated tracks for veterans and military (Hero’s Path), healthcare professionals, legal and business professionals, aviation professionals, and railroad workers — all populations where occupational pressures, licensing concerns, and stigma create unique barriers to seeking help. The Employee Assistance Program supports employees and families dealing with addiction, stress, or mental health challenges while keeping them connected to work. A dedicated psychiatric team supports dual-diagnosis care, which Cornerstone emphasizes as a differentiator from facilities that lack on-site psychiatric staffing.

Federal records list Medicaid (TennCare), private insurance, TRICARE, and self-pay among payment options. Cornerstone’s website notes it accepts insurance from most providers; specific commercial carriers should be verified through Cornerstone’s insurance verification process. The intake line is 865-509-9352, available 24/7. Conditions treated include alcohol use disorder, fentanyl and opioid use disorders, co-occurring mental health conditions, trauma, anxiety, and depression — with PTSD explicitly addressed in the website’s FAQ.

Medical Detox and Withdrawal Management Services

Cornerstone of Recovery's medical detox program provides 24/7 supervised withdrawal management on their Louisville campus. The facility's detox services handle alcohol detox, drug detox, and medically complex cases requiring continuous monitoring during the withdrawal process.

The medical detox program integrates directly with the facility's residential treatment services, allowing patients to transition seamlessly from detox to ongoing addiction treatment. This continuity of care ensures consistent medical oversight from initial withdrawal management through residential programming, all within the same 24-acre treatment environment.

Residential Treatment and PHP Programs

Following medical detox, patients can access residential treatment services that address drug addiction, alcohol addiction, and co-occurring behavioral disorders. The residential program operates on the same campus as the detox unit, providing immediate access to ongoing treatment without transfers to external facilities.

The facility's Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers structured daily programming for patients stepping down from residential care or those requiring intensive outpatient support. Combined with traditional outpatient services, these programs create a comprehensive treatment continuum accessible from the single Louisville location.

Dual Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Disorders

Cornerstone of Recovery specializes in dual diagnosis treatment, addressing both substance use disorders and co-occurring behavioral disorders simultaneously. This approach is particularly important during medical detox when underlying mental health conditions may complicate withdrawal management protocols.

Clinical services include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other therapeutic interventions designed to treat the complex needs of patients with both addiction and mental health diagnoses. The facility's dual diagnosis capabilities ensure appropriate medical and psychiatric support throughout the detox and treatment process.

Insurance Coverage and Admissions

The facility accepts Medicaid, private insurance, TRICARE, and self-pay arrangements for medical detox and addiction treatment services. TRICARE certification makes Cornerstone of Recovery accessible to veterans and military personnel requiring medically supervised detox and ongoing treatment.

With 24-hour operations and established admission protocols, the facility can accommodate urgent medical detox needs. Joint Commission accreditation ensures clinical standards meet national requirements for medically supervised withdrawal management and residential addiction treatment services.
