Our Clients Experience Reduced Levels of Anxiety and Depression

At Sandstone Care’s rehab center for teens, we know disorders like anxiety and depression can have a profound impact on a child’s ability to enjoy life. That’s why our treatment programming addresses both addiction and mental health challenges.

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.

Drug & Alcohol Treatment Options

Is your loved one struggling with substance use or addiction? Our rehab for teens can help.

Alcohol

The transition between recreational alcohol use and alcohol dependence can be a subtle one. But if your teen can’t stop drinking when they want to, they may have alcohol dependence.

No caption generated
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 people feel unable to cope with life without using.

No caption generated
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.

No caption generated
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.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment for Teens

If your child is struggling with substance use and their mental health, you need more than just anxiety treatment centers for teens or adolescent detox programs. Your child needs dual-diagnosis care to address both challenges at once.

Many teens who struggle with their mental health turn to substances as a way to self-medicate, so it’s important to treat both to ensure lasting recovery.

Parent’s Corner

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.

Don’t see your question below? Give our admissions team a call today — we’ll be happy to speak with you.

If you believe your teen may be using drugs, the first and most important step is to start a conversation. Approach them with care and concern, creating a safe space to talk openly about what they’re going through. Sometimes, a single honest and compassionate conversation can make a meaningful difference.

However, if you’ve already tried talking and the behavior continues — or if the situation feels beyond what you can manage at home — it may be time to seek professional support.

For teens whose home environment is stable and supportive, outpatient treatment may be a helpful next step. But if your child’s substance use is more severe or tied to underlying mental health concerns, inpatient residential treatment may provide the structured, intensive care they need to heal and thrive. At Sandstone Care, we have both inpatient residential and outpatient centers that offer teen treatment programming.

The four stages of addiction are:

  1. Experimentation: Trying a substance out of curiosity or peer pressure.
  2. Regular Use: Continued use in social settings or as a coping mechanism.
  3. Risky Use or Abuse: Use begins to negatively impact relationships, school, or health.
  4. Addiction and Dependency: The individual becomes physically or psychologically dependent and struggles to stop using despite serious consequences.

Five common warning signs of addiction include:

  1. Changes in behavior or mood: Increased irritability, secrecy, or isolation.
  2. Neglecting responsibilities: Falling behind at school, work, or home.
  3. Physical changes: Sudden weight loss, poor hygiene, or unusual sleep patterns.
  4. Increased tolerance: Needing more of the substance to feel the same effect.
  5. Inability to stop: Failed attempts to cut back or quit, despite negative consequences.

To help your child stop using drugs, start by having an open, non-judgmental conversation about their behavior and well-being. Express concern with love and listen without interrupting. Encourage them to seek professional support, such as therapy or a teen-focused drug treatment program.

You can also involve your child’s school counselor or pediatrician for guidance. Most importantly, stay involved, set healthy boundaries, and reinforce that recovery is possible — and that they don’t have to do it alone.

Introduction to Our Admissions Process

Admissions Process

About Our Admissions Process

When you reach out to Sandstone Care about teen residential treatment at Cascade Canyon, our compassionate admissions coordinators will take the time to truly listen and understand what your family and your teen have been experiencing. This initial conversation marks the beginning of our admissions journey and is known as the “pre-screening” process.

After the pre-screen, the clinical team at Cascade Canyon — including the primary therapist, nurse practitioner, and program director — will review the information together to determine whether our program is the right fit for your teen and your family.

If your teen is confirmed as a good candidate for care, we’ll begin preparing for their stay by consulting with any past treatment providers or clinicians to get a full picture of their clinical and medical background. Our goal is to ensure your family feels supported, informed, and confident as we begin your teen’s healing journey with intention and care.

Icon Quotemark

Would highly recommend for anyone with a teen struggling with substance abuse and mental health.

We have felt included and supported and are so grateful for the care they’ve provided to our son at such a vulnerable and scary time.

What To Expect on Arrival

When you arrive at Cascade Canyon, our friendly team will be there to welcome you. You’ll meet the Program Director, your teen’s therapist, and a member of our nursing staff, who will walk you through the program and answer any questions you may have as a family.

After this initial conversation, your teen will complete an intake evaluation with their primary therapist. This session helps us better understand their mental health history, family dynamics, academic status, trauma, and any current medications.

Once the assessment is complete, your teen will get settled into their room, meet their peers, and take some time to explore the lodge. The full intake process typically takes about two hours.

The First 24 Hours

During their first 24 hours at Cascade Canyon Teen Drug Rehab & Mental Health Center, your teen will meet with one of our psychiatrists for a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. This includes an in-depth mental health assessment and a review of current or potential medications that may help manage their symptoms.

They’ll also have a visit with our family nurse practitioner to evaluate any physical health concerns and ensure we’re supporting your teen’s overall well-being.

We understand that the first day in a new environment can feel overwhelming, but our experienced and caring clinical team is here to guide your teen — and your family — every step of the way as they begin to settle in and feel at home.

A Day In the Life at Cascade Canyon Teen Drug Rehab

Early Mornings: Waking Up With Intention

Healing begins with structure and consistency. Each day starts at 7:00 am, giving teens time to get ready before joining their peers for a nutritious, chef-prepared breakfast. After breakfast, the group gathers for a morning check-in — a time to share how they’re feeling and set intentions for the day ahead.

Mornings: Clinical Group & Academics

As teens move through treatment, they need space to process their emotions and stay engaged with their education. The morning continues with a clinical group session focused on emotional awareness, self-reflection, and goal-setting.

Following group, teens head to our onsite classroom. Credentialed teachers provide academic support tailored to each student’s needs, helping them stay on track with schoolwork while building life skills like organization, decision-making, vocational planning, and money management.

Afternoons: Therapy, Movement & Creative Expression

After a family-style lunch, teens engage in daily physical activity — hiking, yoga, walking, or other fitness options that support both mental and physical wellness.

In the afternoon, teens participate in a therapeutic process group, where they explore topics like relationships, identity, emotional regulation, and self-esteem with their peers and a licensed therapist. This time also includes expressive therapies like art, music, journaling, and evidence-based therapies such as CBT & DBT.

Evenings: Reflection & Relaxation

Evenings are reserved for winding down. After dinner, teens can journal, complete homework, or participate in calming activities like yoga, art, tai chi, or evening hikes.

Each night ends with a final group check-in. This is a time to reflect on the day’s goals, acknowledge positive moments, and share any lingering thoughts or emotions. To promote healthy sleep habits, lights-out is timed to allow for 8.5 to 9 hours of rest, supporting both recovery and development.

Weekends: Rest, Reconnection & Recreation

Weekends offer a chance to recharge. Teens may connect with family through phone calls or teletherapy, participate in off-site outings, catch up on schoolwork, or enjoy downtime. Whether it’s family connection, quiet reflection, or shared fun, weekends are designed to foster balance and holistic healing.

Support for the Whole Family

At Sandstone Care, we believe that when one member of the family is struggling, the entire system feels the impact. As a parent or caregiver, you may be emotionally drained from trying to stay strong — and you deserve support, too.

That’s why our approach at Cascade Canyon is designed to include and uplift the whole family. We offer weekly family therapy as a central part of our program, as well as a free virtual parent support group.

From the very beginning, we involve family members in the healing process, provide regular updates on your teen’s progress, and work alongside you to rebuild trust, communication, and connection with your child.

Teen Treatment Program Curriculum

Our residential treatment for youth centers around a 7-week curriculum of group process topics that help teens understand their challenges from all angles. This curriculum applies to both addiction treatment and mental health treatment programming, and gives your child the knowledge, tools, and compassion needed for positive change.

Number icon 1
Identity

Week 1: 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 youth residential treatment centers in Colorado provide academic programming for two hours per day, five days a week.
