Often young adults turn to substance use to cope with their mental health issues and the stresses of everyday life. For example, a person who is feeling depressed may turn to marijuana or alcohol to numb the feeling. If you are using drugs or alcohol in addition to dealing with a mental illness, Sandstone Care offers a continuum of care with treatment programs including medical detox, residential treatment, day treatment, outpatient therapy, and transitional living.

Because there can be an overlap in symptoms between drug use and mental health disorders, it’s very important to accurately assess and treat both challenges together. If not treated this way, recovery can be much more difficult, as treatment may only be focusing on one half of the problem. We understand the importance of treating the whole person, which includes addressing co-occurring disorders concurrently with mental health.
