Inside the Maryland Teen Drug Rehab Center

We know how difficult it can be for teens to recover from mental health challenges or substance use issues in the same environment where those issues began. That’s why we created our beautiful Chesapeake Residential Treatment Center to provide a safe, supportive place for adolescents to receive mental health and substance use treatment in a home-away-from-home.

Just 20 minutes west of Annapolis, the Chesapeake Teen Residential complex is made up of four different homes situated in the lush green hills of Maryland. With its ample green space, this treatment facility provides teens the sense of privacy and tranquility they need to heal.

Our residents enjoy nutritious chef prepared meals, comfortable sleeping arrangements, and plenty of recreational areas. We proudly serve families across Maryland including Annapolis, Baltimore, Columbia, Glen Burnie, and more, as well as out of state families whose loved ones need treatment. Tour the center below.

Our Clients Experience Reduced Levels of Anxiety and Depression

At Sandstone Care’s Crownsville Drug Rehab for Teenagers, we know disorders like anxiety and depression can have a profound impact on a teen’s ability to enjoy life. That’s why our dual-diagnosis treatment programming includes both substance use disorder treatment and mental health treatment.

In a recent study of people who completed treatment with us, the group reported a 57% decrease in anxiety symptoms. The same group also experienced a 78% decrease in symptoms of depression.

These are life changing numbers for our alumni. And for those experiencing addiction, they can be the difference between relapse and lasting recovery.

Alcohol

The shift from casual alcohol use to developing a dependence can happen gradually and without clear warning signs. If your teenager is noticing that stopping or cutting back feels difficult—even when they want to—it could be a sign of alcohol dependence.

Marijuana

Like alcohol, marijuana is often used as a common way to unwind or relieve stress. But when it’s used too frequently, it can lead to a reliance that makes it hard for the user to handle daily life without it.

Stimulants are substances that boost activity in your central nervous system, often increasing energy, focus, and alertness. While they can serve medical purposes, misuse of stimulants can result in serious health issues.

Opioids are a group of drugs that include prescription pain relievers, synthetic opioids, and the illegal drug heroin. Whether prescribed or illicit, these substances carry a high risk of addiction.

Addiction rarely occurs in isolation, and is often accompanied or caused by mental health challenges. These are called “co-occurring disorders.”

To help teens achieve lasting recovery, our addiction treatment programming includes mental health services as well. Here are some of the most common mental health challenges we treat at our drug and alcohol treatment centers in Maryland:

Answering Your Most Urgent Questions

We know watching your child deal with addiction or mental health issues can be frightening. This may even be your first time learning about addiction. We’re here to answer all your questions.

If you find out your teenager is using drugs, start by having an open and honest conversation; listen without judgment and give them space to talk. Avoid accusations or confrontational questions like “why,” which can shut down communication.

Next, seek professional support. Contact a doctor, therapist, or teen-focused treatment program to assess your child’s needs. Early intervention can prevent deeper issues and help your teen develop healthy coping strategies. Stay involved, set clear boundaries, and remind them they’re not alone in the recovery process.

 

The most successful treatment for addiction typically combines evidence-based therapies, medical support, and personalized care. Approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), and ongoing support through group or family therapy have been shown to be effective. The most successful programs also address underlying mental health conditions and provide long-term aftercare planning to support lasting recovery. Ultimately, the best treatment varies from person to person, depending on their unique needs and circumstances.

The first stage of drug addiction in teenagers is experimentation. This often begins out of curiosity, peer pressure, or a desire to cope with stress or emotions. While not all teens who experiment become addicted, early use increases the risk of developing a substance use disorder over time, especially if it’s used as a coping mechanism.

To help your child stop using drugs, start by having a calm, supportive conversation. Encourage them to open up about what they’re going through without judgment. Seeking professional help is key — look for rehab programs that specialize in adolescent care, which may include therapy, family support, and medical guidance. Stay involved, offer encouragement, and create a stable environment that supports recovery.

Program Curriculum at our Rehab Facility for Teens

Our residential programs for troubled youth in Maryland center around a 7-week curriculum of group process topics that help teens work through their challenges. This curriculum gives your child the knowledge, tools, and compassion needed for real change.

Number icon 1
Identity

Week 1: In their first week after arriving at our Maryland Rehab, teens explore skills and topics that aid them in learning more about themselves and their recovery identities (as opposed to their substance using or poor mental health identities). They focus on introspective subjects like self-esteem, self-discovery, values & morals, attitudes & beliefs, and self-acceptance.

Number icon 2
Relationships

Week 2: Teens learn new social skills, including how to navigate and create healthy relationships with friends, family, partners, teachers, and other important people in their lives. They examine how they fit into these different relationships in a prosocial way, and focus on improving skills like communication, assertiveness, codependency, boundary setting, impulse control, compassion, and more.

Number icon 3
Recovery

Week 3: Teens develop positive coping skills like grounding techniques, while also focusing on subjects like the effects of substance use on the brain, grief & loss in addiction recovery, building resilience, coping with trauma, self-nurturing, and maintaining safety.

Teen Residential Treatment
Inner Work

Week 4: Teens learn skills that will help them handle life’s inevitable challenges. They explore topics like anger management, building trust in relationships, making commitments in recovery, and problem solving. They also learn how to assess triggers and cope with cravings in healthy ways.

Number icon 5
DBT (Part 1)

Week 5: Teens learn all about the first two branches of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Mindfulness and Distress Tolerance. They explore related topics like mindfulness meditation, recognizing different states of mind, self-soothing, as well as WHAT skills, HOW skills, ACCEPTS skills, and PROMISE skills.

Teen Residential Treatment
DBT (Part 2)

Week 6: Teens finish up their lessons on Distress Tolerance and begin learning about the last two branches of Dialectical Behavior Therapy: Interpersonal Effectiveness and Emotional Regulation. They dive into related topics like accepting reality, goals and roadblocks, distortions and stories, mutual purpose and respect, DEAR MAN skills, smooth SAILING skills, and SERENITY skills.

Number icon 7
Stress Reduction

Week 7: Teens develop stress reduction skills this week and learn how to distinguish between good stress and bad stress. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) skills, they begin to understand how stress affects the mind-body connection, appreciate what parts of life they can and can’t control, and learn helpful ways to cope with stress and painful situations.

OUR APPROACH

360° Treatment for 360° Recovery

A teen’s struggle with mental health, behavioral challenges, trauma, or substance use doesn’t define who they are. We know there is so much more to their story.

That’s why our teen residential mental health program supports the whole person, addressing not only emotional and physical health but also relationships, academics, and personal growth. By taking a holistic approach, we go beyond surface-level symptoms to help build meaningful, lasting change.

Through a thoughtful, individualized treatment plan, your teen will have the chance to heal, grow, and rebuild their relationship with themselves, their family, and the world around them.

More Than Just Therapy

We know struggling teens face more than just mental health or substance use challenges. They’re also learning how to express themselves, succeed in school, and build life skills for independence.

At our teen drug rehab in Crownsville, MD, we support their growth through experiential therapies and activities like:

  • Psychoeducation seminars
  • Yoga
  • Self-expression groups
  • Journaling
  • Life skills training
  • Empowerment planning

Alongside proven behavioral health therapies like CBT and DBT, these activities help teens integrate healthy coping skills into their daily lives.

Family and Parent Support at Sandstone Care Crownsville, MD

Family involvement is an essential part of a teen’s healing journey. At our adolescent drug rehab, we support loved ones with the tools, guidance, and connection they need to navigate recovery together.

Each week, you’ll have the opportunity to join family therapy sessions by phone or video. Your teen’s primary therapist will also provide regular updates on their progress, including how they’re engaging in treatment, responding to therapy, any medication changes, and interactions with peers.

We also offer a free, virtual Parent Support Group every week — a space to connect with other families, gain insights, and receive ongoing support from our team.

The teens in Sandstone Care’s residential program are bright and creative spirits who have been impacted by mental health struggles and drug addiction. Typically, they are struggling with or have struggled with anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or substance use disorder.

There are certain acute behavioral health issues that Sandstone Care does not treat: a history of violence, actively suicidal or psychotic behavior, severe and persistent mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, or any behavioral issues that would disrupt the treatment milieu. Each teen is carefully screened by the admissions team, the treatment team, the Program Director, and if needed, the Executive Clinical Director and Medical Director for appropriateness before admission.

Our admissions team can provide you with a comprehensive list of what to bring! Call (888) 850-1890.

Our goal is to ensure you find the right care — even if it’s not through our program.

Coping with your loved one’s addiction is incredibly difficult, but there are steps you can take to support both them and yourself through this challenging time.

  1. Educate Yourself: Learn about addiction as a disease to better understand your loved one’s behavior and the challenges they’re facing.
  2. Seek Support: Join support groups like Al-Anon or attend family therapy to get guidance and emotional support from others who understand what you’re going through.
  3. Set Boundaries: Establish healthy boundaries to avoid enabling behaviors while still offering love and support to your loved one.
  4. Encourage Treatment: Take the motivational approach and encourage them to seek professional help through medical detox, substance abuse treatment or counseling, but avoid trying to force them into recovery.
  5. Take Care of Yourself: Prioritize your own physical and emotional health through self-care, as supporting a loved one in addiction can be draining.
  6. Practice Patience: Understand that recovery is a long process, and it’s important to allow time for growth, setbacks, and healing for both your loved one and yourself.

Yes, Sandstone Care offers specialized substance abuse treatment in MD for troubled teens facing emotional, social, and behavioral challenges. Our age-specific teenage drug treatment centers prioritize personalized care, family involvement, and building life skills to help teens overcome mental health and substance use challenges.

We are committed to guiding teens and their families through every step of their journey toward healing.

Dealing with someone struggling with drug addiction, alcohol abuse, or opioid dependence requires a delicate balance of support and firm boundaries. Educating yourself about addiction and the specific challenges of alcohol and drug use can help you better understand what your loved one is going through.

Avoid enabling their behavior by letting them face the consequences of their actions. Offer support and encouragement for them to seek professional help, such as drug rehabilitation for teenagers, alcohol rehab or opioid treatment programs, but understand that recovery must be their choice.

Consulting with addiction specialists can provide additional guidance and options, especially for teens resistant to teenage addiction treatment. Throughout this process, it’s essential to take care of your own mental and emotional health, as supporting someone through addiction can be a long and difficult journey.
