Academic and Vocational Support

While at Sandstone Care, our fully dedicated academic adviser will help empower you to rekindle your motivation, develop confidence, set education and career goals, and foster the skills necessary for independent living.

If you are in need of a residential or PHP level of care, you’ll be asked to leave your friends, family, school, and work behind to attend treatment in a recovery-focused environment.

Life, work, and school are hard enough as it is, but with academic and vocational support, you don’t have to worry about falling behind while you try to recover. You’ll be able to fully direct your energy and focus on treatment, regain control, and become a healthier version of yourself.

Young Adult Academic Support & Achievement

Sandstone ensures our young adult clients do not fall behind in school during treatment by requiring participation in academic programs in conjunction with our therapeutic services.

We want to listen to your desires and help you develop primary academic goals. We’ll help you master course material for post-secondary education. Academic achievement is made possible by a disciplined approach to study, attention to individual learning styles, and using evidence-based therapeutic practices to address the issues that may be causing you to struggle academically.

The academic program provides support sessions in order to keep you on track with schooling and progress through the completion of higher education. Alongside you, our academic adviser develops a roadmap to help you achieve your defined goals.

Young Adult Vocational Support & Achievement

Our vocational program was developed in order to allow you to set your own goals of achieving your desired lifestyle, career, or profession. The goals set for you are chosen by you with our support. This method promotes your commitment to following through and achieving these goals.

Alongside you, our vocational adviser then develops a roadmap to give you steps in achieving your set goals.

Benefits of Evidence-Based Therapy

Evidence-based therapies use approaches that have been proven effective through scientific research. Your goals drive the design of your treatment, so you can trust that the skills you are gaining are actually relevant to the life you want to build for yourself.

Using evidence-based treatments, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), ensures that the methods used by therapists are not just based on theories but are backed by solid evidence so that your mental health care is never left up to chance.

Some additional benefits include:

Lasting Results

The American Psychological Association created the policies for EBT using the best research available. Studies have shown that these therapy treatments lead to longer-lasting results.

Cost Effective

Since these kinds of treatments are scientifically proven to be more effective, the chances of relapse are less likely, which means less money spent on future treatments.

More Accountability for Therapists

EBT requires specialized training in the different kinds of therapies, which means you are guaranteed qualified, verified therapists are in charge of your care.

Clinically Effective

EBTs are safe and proven treatments, so you can feel confident that your teen’s recovery is not left up to chance. Your teen’s mental health assessments and preferences will determine which EBTs are used in their treatment plans.
