Alcohol

The transition between recreational alcohol use and alcohol dependence can be a subtle one. But if you’re finding that you can’t stop drinking when you want to, you may have alcohol dependence.

Marijuana

Similar to alcohol use, smoking or ingesting marijuana has become normalized as a way to relax or take the edge off. When overused, it can make you feel unable to cope with life without using.

Stimulants

A stimulant is any drug that increases your central nervous system activity. Stimulants are used to heighten attention, hyperactivity, and alertness. Abuse of these drugs can lead to a variety of health problems.

Opioids

Opioids are a class of drugs that include synthetic opioids, pain killers, and the illegal drug heroin. These drugs, including prescription medications, are highly addictive.

“I can’t afford to take time away from school and work.”

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) meet four days per week for about 12 weeks. Depending on the program, sessions take place during the day or evening, helping teens and young adults get the support they need while staying connected to everyday life.

“I don’t want to burden my family.”

Seeking treatment services doesn’t have to be a burden; in fact, it can actually lift the burdens your family is already carrying. Your addiction is likely already impacting those you love, and by taking steps towards recovery, you’re not only helping yourself but also jumpstarting the healing process for everyone involved.

We offer support groups and family therapy because we know that involving your family in treatment can strengthen support systems and equip everyone with the skills to navigate their own challenges. You should not have to take this journey alone, and your willingness to seek help from a drug and alcohol rehab center is often the crucial first step in breaking cycles of generational pain within your family.

“Will treatment actually work?”

The recovery journey is rarely straightforward, and it’s normal to face setbacks. If you’ve tried to overcome substance use before and it didn’t go as planned, remember that addictions are designed to be difficult to break. There’s nothing wrong with seeking out help along the way to a healthier future.

At our Richmond rehab center, our clinicians use evidence-based treatment approaches that are supported by research and adapted to each patient’s individual needs. We offer a comprehensive approach that includes a mix of individual counseling and group therapy, using treatment modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), experiential therapies, and addiction medicine.

By addressing the underlying causes of addiction and equipping you with practical strategies to navigate it, envisioning life beyond addiction becomes much easier. We also provide a detailed discharge plan and ongoing aftercare to ensure you have the support you need beyond your initial treatment.

Sandstone is such a wonderful place to get the help for not just the patient, but the family as well.

[They have] professional staff who truly care about your individual needs.

Care that Counts.

You know things can’t keep going on like this, something has to change. But how can you be sure that going into treatment will make a difference? At Sandstone Care, we measure our outcomes so that you can see what the data says for yourself.

In a recent study, patients were surveyed at the start and end of their treatment. The results showed a significant reduction in distress for our patients.

That healing was both statistically and clinically significant. Not only does that mean that the results were too strong to be explained by chance, it means that patients actually felt less overwhelmed, less tired, and less anxious in their everyday lives.

Day Treatment (PHP)

4 weeks of on-site day treatment.

Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides young adults with structured treatment and support five days a week while allowing them to return home each evening.

Our mental health and substance use programming helps clients to stabilize, begin to understand their mental health and/or addiction struggles, and heal from them. We strive to help our clients become more like the person they want to be, without using negative coping strategies or substances to get there.

Questions About Rehab Treatment?

Our goal is to provide you with the most helpful information. Please reach out to us if you have any additional questions at (888) 850-1890. We are here to help in any way we can.

How do I know if I need outpatient treatment?

If you experience withdrawal symptoms when you try to stop substance abuse, this is usually a sign that addiction therapy at a recovery center could be beneficial. After you’ve decided that treatment is needed, then it’s time to assess which level of care best suits your situation.

Here at Sandstone Care, we specialize in developing diverse addiction treatment programs to meet clients where they are.

The most effective way to determine if outpatient treatment is the right path for you is to consult with a healthcare professional. Our dedicated admissions team is always available for a conversation. They can provide advice and guide you on your next steps.

No matter what your short-term or long-term goals are, don’t hesitate to reach out – we’re here to help clarify your options and navigate your journey toward recovery. Whether you need inpatient treatment, residential treatment, or outpatient care, we would be happy to speak with you and advise you on your next steps.

How long is your addiction treatment?

At Sandstone Care, we understand that every individual we treat is unique, which is why we tailor our outpatient treatment to meet each person’s specific needs. The duration of addiction treatment typically spans 2 to 12 weeks, influenced by various factors:

Your age (We provide PHP and IOP for adolescents and young adults)
The substance you’re recovering from (e.g., alcohol addiction)
Duration and frequency of substance use
Potential benefits from behavioral therapy
Your overall physical and mental health
The necessity for medication management in drug abuse detoxification
Any underlying health conditions or mental health issues

Once you complete your substance abuse treatment programming, our discharge planners will sit down with you for an evaluation to discuss personalized aftercare options tailored to your needs.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes! Please contact our admissions team to complete an Insurance Verification to see if we accept your private health insurance. If we do not, we may be able to provide you with referrals to find treatment at a recovery center, even if it’s not with us. Please note that we do not accept Medicare or Medicaid.

How does Sandstone Care treat the family?

Loved ones play a key part in the overall wellness of each person, which is why Sandstone Care incorporates family involvement sessions into every treatment plan.

We offer individual therapy sessions bi-weekly to examine the role the family plays in behavioral health. Because connection can be key to recovery, our case management team will work with you and your family to help you foster meaningful connections within the family unit.

Our recovery program also utilizes weekly Multi-Family psychotherapy groups to reinforce new skills being learned in groups, as well as a source of support and guidance during the rehabilitative care process.

How long does treatment usually last?

PHP is designed as a four-week program, while IOP typically lasts about 12 weeks. Your treatment team will review your progress and any clinical or insurance considerations throughout care.

Can I take time away during treatment?

Consistent attendance is an important part of making progress in both PHP and IOP. Pre-planned travel may be approved when coordinated with your treatment team in advance. If time away is approved, your team will provide individualized work based on your treatment goals to help you stay connected to your recovery while you are away.

How do I know which Richmond program is right for me?

Richmond offers several outpatient programs for adolescents and young adults with mental health, substance use, or co-occurring concerns. The appropriate program depends on your age, current symptoms, safety, treatment needs, and the amount of structure that will be most helpful. Our Admissions and Richmond clinical teams will work with you to understand your needs and recommend the available program they believe is the best fit.

What does the treatment process look like?

Treatment begins with an assessment to determine which Richmond program is the best fit. During treatment, patients participate in structured group programming and weekly individual therapy, with family support incorporated as appropriate. IOP also includes weekly Multifamily Group. Your treatment team monitors progress throughout care and works with you and your support system to plan appropriate next steps as treatment comes to an end.

How do you treat mental health and substance use concerns together?

Mental health and substance use concerns can affect one another, and treatment is tailored to each patient’s needs. Richmond’s adolescent IOP combines mental health and dual-diagnosis treatment, while young adult IOP includes separate mental health and dual-diagnosis programs. Remove language implying substance use is simply a symptom of mental illness.

Can I continue using substances while in treatment?

No. Patients are expected to participate in outpatient treatment substance-free. If ongoing substance use makes outpatient treatment unsafe or ineffective, our team can help determine whether another level of care is a better fit.

Will I receive individual therapy?

Yes. Patients in all Richmond programs receive individual therapy each week alongside structured group programming. Individual family sessions are also available with our Multifamily Group therapist when additional family support would be helpful.
