Age-Specific Care
We are age-specific, not gender-specific. We focus on the unique circumstances that teens and young adults face.
We believe that family involvement is integral and necessary for the successful recovery of our clients. A person exists within a family and should be treated within the context of the family. See how the family is involved in treatment at Sandstone Care.
Sandstone Care aims to drive positive lasting change in real people. We understand that you have a life, so we offer a more personalized experience than you would find anywhere else.
We are age-specific, not gender-specific. We focus on the unique circumstances that teens and young adults face.
We only use treatment interventions that have been scientifically proven to provide consistent, lasting recovery.
You are not a number, that’s why we provide a comfortable setting where your voice can be heard.
No one person is the same, and neither is their recovery journey. Your treatment program will be tailored to your unique needs.
We want clients to get the most out of life, which means doing their best in the classroom or at their job.
Recovery involves the entire family, so we provide support for the whole family system.
Our commitment to our clients’ lasting success and recovery helps us continually exceed licensing standards of care throughout the industry.
It is our team’s passion and dedication to the following components of our approach that creates a sense of community where clients are excited to get to participate in our program and move on to a sustainable, new way of life.
We developed our evidence-based curriculum with the latest available research to address our clients’ deepest physical, mental, and emotional issues. It is our goal to reach the root of the substance use or addiction issue. We include the following therapies, assessments, and plans in our programs:
The needs of adolescents and young adults are unique. Their brains and bodies are still developing and their need for peer connection is at an all-time high. They are also at a stage in life where they are struggling to develop a strong, healthy self-image in the face of a rapidly changing world.
This world is heavily influenced by social media and technology. So, we assess where our clients are from a developmental standpoint and create a treatment program based on their developmental stage needs. We provide care specific to those unique needs for every client.
Teens and young adults face the pressures of school or entering the job market for the first time. Substance use adds to it by negatively impacting grades and job performance. We include academic and vocational support in our programs to help teens and young adults get back on track.
After our comprehensive assessment, we develop an individualized treatment plan to meet each client’s needs. Rather than emphasize why an individual comes to Sandstone Care, we focus on the path forward. We rely on our clinical framework to help each client discover their own values and beliefs, strengths, and passions.
To improve the quality of life as a family, it’s essential to involve the entire family in treatment. We have individual family therapy, multi-family groups, and parent support groups. Here, families will find a space where they have permission to be open and honest about the challenges they are facing. They can also find answers about mental health and what treatment looks like at Sandstone Care.

Our unique CLICC Framework establishes five pillars of success for our clients. These five pillars allow our therapists to hone in on a client’s strengths and identify any areas in a client’s recovery process that are lacking. This individualized program methodology helps our clients reach that critical breakthrough moment that is necessary in order to achieve a sustainable recovery.
We believe the development of values and beliefs is the first step in providing the foundation for this change. To find a sustainable change, the individual must work with their family members and our clinical team to develop this set of values.
At Sandstone Care, individuals will learn coping skills and they’ll continue the process of defining who they are so they can tackle life’s challenges with confidence. We recognize that when clients see their schoolwork and career choices as expressions of who they are, they flourish.
Individuals can discover and restore the values that their families hold dear while growing a sense of personal responsibility. With a stronger sense of integrity, clients can cultivate their own values, beliefs, and passions that will continue to keep them strong in the face of temptation.
Through group therapy, clients can develop healthy and authentic relationships that aren’t based on a desire for substance use. Establishing stable relationships in a safe community can positively reinforce the individual’s commitment to change.
The ultimate goal of the program is to create a new, sustainable, joyful and meaningful way of life. Sandstone Care has dedicated resources and clinical staff to help our clients identify classes, jobs, sports, and other activities that help individuals connect to vibrant and inspiring communities.
