Mental Health and Addiction Resources For Parents and Loved Ones

At Sandstone Care, we approach the treatment of addiction and mental health by supporting the whole family system.

We’re here to help 24/7

Getting Your Teen or Young Adult to Treatment

We know this wasn’t the plan.

For parents and loved ones of those experiencing addiction or mental health issues, it’s common to feel overwhelmed, helpless, angry, and alone.

That’s why we provide an evidence-based treatment program focused exclusively on adolescents and their families. By treating the family system as a whole, we seek higher rates of success, addressing behaviors in context.

Find a family-focused program

It’s important to make sure your support system is set up to meet your needs, including academic and vocational support, psychiatric, mental health, and dual diagnosis. Even if we’re not the right fit, we’ll connect you to a program that is.

Failure to Launch Syndrome

Help your young adult find independence.

Is your child a young adult who is seemingly unable to move toward greater independence and self-realization?

Sometimes called failure to launch syndrome, these young adults may need treatment to move forward past contributing factors, such as drug addiction and underlying mental illness.

Parent Support Group

Parents come together virtually and support each other as they navigate the challenges of helping their teen or young adult who struggles with drugs, alcohol, and mental health concerns.

Join the Group

All participants must register and sign the confidentiality form before attending any parent support group.

Our two distinct mental health and substance use tracks help clients to stabilize, begin to understand their mental health and/or addiction struggles, and heal from them. We strive to help our clients become more like the person they want to be, without using negative coping strategies or substances to get there.

Age-Specific Care

We are age-specific, not gender-specific. We focus on the unique circumstances that teens and young adults face.

Evidence-Based Therapy

We only use treatment interventions that have been scientifically proven to provide consistent, lasting recovery.

Small Group Sizes

You are not a number, that’s why we provide a comfortable setting where your voice can be heard.

Individualized Treatment Plans

No one person is the same, and neither is their recovery journey. Your treatment program will be tailored to your unique needs.

Academic and Vocational Support

We want clients to get the most out of life, which means doing their best in the classroom or at their job.

The Family Component

Recovery involves the entire family, so we provide support for the whole family system.

Benefits of Evidence-Based Therapy

EBTs are scientifically-proven therapies that are guided by relevant data. Patient preferences are prioritized, which maximizes their options and adds flexibility to individual treatment plans. Evidence-based therapy is safe and consistent treatment, so your recovery is not left up to chance.

Some additional benefits include:

Lasting Results

The American Psychological Association created the policies for EBT using the best research available. Their studies have shown that these therapy treatments work due to the combination of clinical training and science.

Highest Quality Treatment

Our licensed clinical staff is trained in therapy treatments that are proven to be effective. This means they had to learn and follow certain guidelines for how they provide care.

Clinically Effective & Cost Effective

Since these kinds of treatments are scientifically proven to be effective, the chances of relapse are less likely. This means you’ll be able to save more money in the long run.

More Accountability for Therapists

EBT requires specialized training in the different kinds of therapies. Treatment options aren’t based on the therapist’s mood, they are backed by training and scientific results.

What are the signs of substance use or mental health disorders?

If you’re asking this question, you probably are already seeing evidence of these behaviors.

  • Social isolation
  • Decrease performance in school or work
  • Drastic mood changes
  • Decreased interest in hobbies

When you give us a call, our admissions coordinators can help assess the situation. If we think Sandstone Care might be a good fit, we’ll schedule a clinical assessment to get a diagnosis and determine a treatment plan.

Will we always recommend Sandstone?

The truth is we may not always be the right fit for you and your family. That doesn’t mean we don’t want to help.

Give us a call and we’ll help guide you to whatever the next right step is — even if it’s not with us.
