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.”

Making the choice to undergo addiction treatment can feel intimidating, but with Sandstone Care by your side you’ll find support every moment of your journey. Watch the inspiring story of Nico, a former client who embraced sobriety and took action to change his life for the better.

If you experience withdrawal symptoms when you try to stop substance use, this is usually a sign of dependency or addiction. For those experiencing alcohol or drug addiction, addiction therapy can 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, inform you about our treatment programs, and guide you to 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 treatment options and navigate your journey toward recovery. Whether you need inpatient treatment, residential treatment, or outpatient services, 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, our recovery center tailors treatment plans 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.
