Teen Therapy

Yes, we accept private insurance plans. You don’t have to pay out-of-pocket for your teen’s health — complete an Insurance Verification to see if your insurance coverage is accepted with us.

Yes. We have a teen track, which is for adolescents ages 13-17, and a young adult track for individuals ages 18-30.

Our programs are age-based because we recognize that different stages of life come with specific issues. The teenage years often come with things like peer pressure, academic struggles, and familial relationship challenges, so our teen track pays special attention to these.

Each individual’s treatment team consists of six experts who specialize in teen trauma and mental health disorders. These include our Program Director, Family Therapist, Primary Therapist, Psychiatrist, Teacher, and Medical Director (supported by our Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner).

Each treatment center’s page on our website features a clinical team section. There you can see who is treating your child, find their names, and read their bios. You might see letters next to each clinician’s name, including LPC, LAC, LMFT, LMHC, and LCSW. Each of these distinguish their areas of expertise.

The teens at Sandstone Care are bright and creative spirits who have been impacted by mental health issues. Typically, they are struggling with or have experienced anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or substance use.

It’s important to note that teens with a history of violence, teens that are actively suicidal or psychotic, teens that have a severe and persistent mental illness such as schizophrenia, or teens that exhibit behavioral issues that would disrupt the treatment milieu are not appropriate for Sandstone Care.

Each teen is carefully screened by the admissions team and the Program Director, and if needed, the Executive Clinical Director and Medical Director to ensure the safety of everyone in treatment.

The amount of treatment needed varies greatly and depends on one’s individual circumstances. At Sandstone Care, we believe in treating our clients as a whole person instead of just treating their substance use disorder or mental health disorders in isolation. Our program is individualized to meet those specific needs and as such length of stay may vary. Navigate to one of our specific teen treatment programs to see the standard timeline for each.

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 might be causing them to use substances as unhealthy coping skills.
