Breaking the Cycle

Addiction rarely comes alone. If your teen is struggling with substance use, it is very possible that the root cause lies in their mental health.

At Sandstone Care, we address these intertwined concerns head-on. Our approach involves a comprehensive understanding of your child’s unique situation, recognizing that mental health and substance use often go hand in hand. Our team of expert clinicians, specializing in both mental health and substance use, collaborates to provide tailored therapies that break the cycle of these challenges.

In our dual diagnosis program, your child benefits from targeted interventions for their specific conditions. By untangling the complexities of dual diagnosis, we empower your child to build resilience, acquire coping skills, and break free from the cycle that binds these challenges together.

Treatment for adolescents requires a very different approach from treating adults. Adolescents have specific mental health and developmental issues which require specialized, age-specific programming to effectively address these issues.

The assessment is the first step for all of our clients. The primary reason for the assessment is for us to get to know you and your situation so we can recommend the right program for your child, whether that is at Sandstone Care or elsewhere.  It is also a great time for you to get to know Sandstone Care as well.

Yes, we understand that many people who abuse drugs and alcohol also suffer from depression, anxiety, etc. So, we have a psychiatrist on staff who can diagnose co-occurring disorders and help address the underlying issues that often lead to substance abuse.

Rest assured that at Sandstone Care, you’ll find a community of people who have been through various challenges related to mental health, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use. It’s important to note that individuals with certain severe conditions or behavioral issues that might disrupt the treatment environment are carefully screened out during the admissions process. The safety and well-being of everyone in our care are paramount. You can trust that the screening by our dedicated team, including the Program Director, Executive Clinical Director, and Medical Director, ensures that everyone in treatment is a good fit for the supportive and nurturing community at Sandstone Care. Your journey here will be surrounded by understanding and like-minded individuals who share the common goal of healing and growth.
