About Our Teen Residential Treatment Program

When your teen is struggling with their mental health, it’s essential to choose the right level of care. Our Castle Rock Residential Treatment Program offers a safe, structured setting designed specifically for teens to stabilize and begin healing.

This 30–45 day program provides evidence-based treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and more, led by licensed clinicians and providers who specialize in adolescent care. Your teen will follow an individualized treatment plan, participate in group therapy with peers, and build skills in a supportive environment.

Family involvement is critical to recovery, which is why our programming includes regular family therapy. We help your teen lay the foundation for emotional wellness — while supporting your family throughout the process.

As part of Sandstone Care’s full continuum of care, your teen can step down into one of our outpatient programs. With three Colorado locations and additional centers nationwide, we provide consistent, ongoing support after residential treatment.

Questions About Residential 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.

If your teen is still struggling to manage their mental health despite outpatient therapy or medication, or if their ability to function day-to-day is significantly impacted, residential treatment may be the next step toward healing.

Some signs that residential care may be appropriate include difficulty maintaining relationships, falling behind at school, persistent feelings of hopelessness, thoughts of self-harm, or suicidal ideation.

At our Residential Treatment facility in Colorado, we provide comprehensive support for both addiction and mental health care in a structured, teen-focused setting. With 24/7 care from licensed clinicians and a peaceful environment designed for healing, your teen will receive the personalized attention they need to begin meaningful recovery.

The best way to determine whether residential care is right for your teen is to consult with a mental health professional. You can also speak directly with our admissions team — we’ll listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and help you take the next step with clarity and support.

Our admissions team can walk you through everything your teen will need. We’ll provide a detailed packing list and answer any questions to help you feel fully prepared. Call (888) 850-1890 to get started.

Yes! We are in-network with most major providers. To check coverage, please complete our quick Insurance Verification form to confirm if we accept your plan.

To maintain a safe and focused treatment environment, we don’t allow in-person visits — but we do support virtual visits with family and close friends. These can be scheduled throughout your teen’s stay to maintain healthy, connected support.

These sessions help family members understand how their role influences recovery — and how to create new, healthier patterns.

We also offer weekly Multi-Family therapy groups to reinforce key skills, strengthen communication, and give families a source of guidance and support throughout the treatment journey.
