What is Transitional Living?

Transitional Living for Young Adults

Maybe you feel out of place, surrounded by triggers, or you just aren’t ready to face the stresses of life at home. If you’re feeling this way, you are not alone.

At Sandstone Care, we understand what you are going through, so we created transitional programs for young adults that give you the supported independence you need to rebuild confidence, re-establish your identity, and set goals for the future.

You will participate in 25 hours a week of day treatment, also known as a partial hospitalization program (PHP), while being immersed in a structured, therapeutic living environment for 2 – 6 months.

Locations
We have transitional living centers located throughout Colorado, Maryland, and Virginia.

The Benefits of A Transitional Housing Program

Our highly-trained mentoring staff will work with you to develop a structured care plan that is tailored to your unique needs.

You’ll practice conflict resolution and rebuild family relationships all while living with others who understand exactly what you’re going through.

The added support of young adult transition programs gives you the tools you need to succeed in recovery and in life.

Who is a Transitional Living Program (TLP) For?

If you are a young adult man or woman between the ages of 18-30 and are in need of guidance and support as you transition into independent living, then this program is for you.

Our team of experienced professionals includes licensed therapists, addiction specialists, and mental health professionals who are dedicated to helping you achieve your recovery goals.

Eligibility for this friendly group home setting depends upon a few factors, including if your living situation puts you at risk for relapse, you’d benefit from being surrounded by supportive community resources, or you need extra support strengthening basic life skills.

We provide supportive services and life skills training to help you master money management, achieve job readiness, and have coping strategies for the real world.

This independent living program will benefit you if you:

Need a supportive substance-free living environment
Are stepping down from a medical detox program
Struggle to live independently
Need support in developing healthy lifestyle habits

Reasons to Stay

Transitional Living Paired with PHP or IOP

Recovery is about more than simply abstaining from drug or alcohol use. It is also about developing a sustainable, balanced, and independent lifestyle.

With day and intensive outpatient programs blended with your residential treatment experience, you will be able to focus on every part of your well-being.

Every transitional living center is close to a PHP/IOP facility, so you don’t have to travel far for treatment. Centers are staffed 7 days a week by trained professionals prepared to support you.

Living Skills from Our Transitional Program

Transitional living gives you a safe, controlled setting to learn the skills you need to reach your goals before you start living independently. Some, but not all, of those skills include:

  • Emotional resilience: Learn to manage stress, reframe thought patterns, and face emotional challenges without turning to addictive behaviors.
  • Healthy communication: Heal your relationships by learning how to take accountability, set boundaries, and ask for help.
  • Confronting triggers: Identify and overcome triggering situations and environments to stay sober longer.
  • Self-sufficiency: Cultivate independence and self-confidence so that you can withstand peer pressure.
  • Employment & academic skills: Find job opportunities, budget, and study efficiently to build a strong foundation for life beyond addiction.

Life skills are proven to help you recover faster and stay sober longer by helping build a foundation for a new sense of independence.

Day Treatment (PHP)

Our PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program) complements the transitional living setting by giving you the therapeutic support you need to recover.

While transitional living gives you life skill learning and support groups, day treatment will give you highly structured support with evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

The 8-12 week IOP, available on-site or virtually, is vital for you while you are in our transitional program for young adults.

Unlike the day treatment option, IOP is tailored for post-school or post-work hours, our intensive outpatient program supports young adults in managing mental health and substance use challenges while juggling daily responsibilities.

We offer personalized evidence-based treatment, emphasize family involvement, and provide the tools necessary for achieving lasting wellness.
