Choosing Sobriety and Accountability

“My life has improved in every aspect, I think because I’m not relying on something that could be so detrimental to me just to feel like myself… I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m still growing and I don’t have all the answers. And I’m okay with that.”

Taking the first step to overcoming addiction doesn’t have to be hard. Take some time to listen to Nico share his story of making the choice to pursue sobriety, along with the incredible ways his life has improved since.

If you’re considering entering recovery, know that you aren’t alone and have a compassionate community cheering you on at Sandstone. Begin your journey by verifying your insurance or giving us a call.

Knowing what level of care would be best for you is tricky! If you experience withdrawal symptoms when you try to stop substance abuse, this is usually a sign that addiction therapy could be beneficial.

Here at Sandstone Care, we specialize in developing diverse addiction treatment programs that cater to a variety of situations. However, 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.

Every person that Sandstone Care treats are different. While some outpatient rehabilitation centers are one-size-fits-all, Sandstone Care tailors treatment to meet our client’s specific needs. For example, adolescent patients may require different treatment services than young adults. The average length of treatment is 2 – 12 weeks. Some of the factors that impact the length of treatment are:

  • What substances the client is in addiction recovery from (for example, alcohol addiction)
  • How long the client has been drinking or using drugs
  • The frequency that the client has been drinking or using drugs
  • If the client would benefit from behavioral therapy
  • Overall physical and mental health of the client
  • If medication management will be necessary for drug abuse detoxification
  • Underlying health conditions or mental health issues

Once your substance abuse treatment programming is complete, our Discharge Planners will sit with you for an evaluation to discuss your aftercare options.

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

While, yes, we are able to prescribe medications, we acknowledge that not all situations call for medication-assisted treatment. Our medical team will evaluate your circumstances and determine what type of treatment is appropriate for you.

Loved ones play a vital role in the overall wellness of each individual served. Individual family therapy sessions are offered bi-weekly to examine the role the family plays in creating new patterns of behavioral health and changing old behavior that reinforced negative behaviors. 

Connection is key in recovery. Our case management team will work with you and your family to find the best way to foster that connection. Our 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.
