When you’re grappling with both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder, we call it “co-occurring disorders” or “dual diagnoses.” At Sandstone Care, we recognize the significance of treating you as a whole person.

Your journey with us focuses on comprehensive care to ensure that both aspects of your well-being are given the attention and support they deserve.

Not only was the group supportive, but the support from the staff was amazing.

I initially came to Sandstone for IOP and it helped me get through a really though time in my life. I ended up staying through OP and I would recommend it to anyone that needs support with their mental health.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Addiction and mental health often go hand-in-hand. Work on both at Sandstone.

Often young adults struggling with drug and alcohol use also have underlying mental health or behavioral disorders such as depression, anxiety, or personality disorders. Our clinical team focuses on helping you to identify and improve any underlying concerns, so you are fully prepared to address addiction from all directions.

Transitional Living Overview

2-4 weeks of on-site day treatment.

Our Young Adult Day Treatment Program, also known as Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), is a highly structured level of care for young adults that offers five days of robust programming a week.

Our two distinct mental health and substance use tracks help young adults 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.

Day Treatment Explained

8-12 weeks of on-site or virtual treatment.

Our Young Adult IOP, or Intensive Outpatient Program, offers two distinct tracks to address young adult needs, each track consisting of 3-4 days of weekly programming.

Each focuses on developing positive social, academic, and vocational habits while continuing with their job or school responsibilities.

FAQs

You Have Questions. We Have Answers.

Our goal is to provide the most helpful information. Please reach out to us if you have any additional questions. We are here to help in any way we can.

The amount of treatment you need is highly individual and depends on your specific needs. At Sandstone Care, we approach treatment by considering you as a whole person rather than just focusing on isolated substance use or mental health disorders. Our program is tailored to meet your unique requirements, recognizing that everyone’s journey is different.

As a result, the length of your stay in our program may vary to ensure that you receive the comprehensive and personalized care necessary for your well-being.

IOP, which stands for “Intensive Outpatient Program,” could be just what you need. If you’ve finished a more intensive level of care, like day treatment, and are looking to step down, or if you’re dealing with substance use or mental health concerns but want to keep up with school and work, IOP is designed for you.

At Sandstone Care, our program is tailored to offer comprehensive support while allowing you to navigate your daily routines and responsibilities. It’s a way to get the help you need without major disruptions to your life.

At Sandstone Care, you’ll find a community of bright and creative spirits among your fellow young adults. They’ve 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 is our top priority. 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 here.

Your journey here will be surrounded by understanding and like-minded individuals who share the common goal of healing and growth.

During your introductory assessment, a psychiatrist will be there to listen to your story and understand your unique circumstances and needs. Together, you’ll explore the most fitting level of care. Whether it’s our Residential Treatment Program for a more intensive experience, Day Treatment for structured support, or the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for a step-down approach that allows you to manage daily commitments – the goal is to find the perfect fit that supports your journey to wellness.

No. We believe in starting with many privileges and only revoking access if necessary, so we do not have a blackout period when you begin our program.

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

Sandstone Care works with young adults who are struggling with substance use, co-occurring mental health disorders, and mental health primary needs through our Mental Health Centers.

Knowing what level of care would be best for you is tricky! If you experience withdrawal symptoms when you attempt to discontinue use, it is more than likely you would benefit from detox. However, the best way to know whether or not you would benefit from medical detox is to get a professional opinion. Our trained admissions team would be happy to speak with you and advise you on next steps.

Our clinical team is made up of a group of highly qualified individuals who are all dedicated to helping teens and young adults reclaim their lives. This team includes medical doctors, psychiatrists, licensed therapists, family therapists, and teachers.
