About Corner Stone Rescue Mission
The Cornerstone Rescue Mission - Men’s Mission is a non-denominational Christian nonprofit that serves Rapid City, South Dakota. They are the only free source of meals for the homeless in the Black Hills region. They can house up to 160 men each night and feed double that many.
They also offer residence to up to 58 men who are working towards independent living. Each person is assigned a caseworker to help them overcome barriers. Any men who work 30+ hours a week are asked to pay $7 a day towards their rent. These funds are recycled into the program.
For residents who work less than 30 hours a week, they can opt to do work assignments such as cleaning the dorms or working in the Cornerstone thrift store.
An onsite community health clinic provides some medical services for anyone who needs them.
A new addiction recovery program is in the works. This program will provide recovery housing for men who are participating in addiction treatment and need a place to live. This sober, transitional housing will be available to them while they wait for more permanent housing.

Treatment
Alcoholism
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug Addiction
Support provided by drug rehab in South Dakota includes social, physical, and emotional aspects. Program participants learn how to meet needs in each of these areas without turning to drugs. The goals of the program are freedom from drug dependency and long-term recovery.
Opioid Addiction
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance Abuse
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Clinical Services
Life Skills

Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
