Helping teens, young adults, and adults overcome substance use and mental health issues through age-specific treatment rooted in evidence and compassion.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to living the life you deserve.
Your story is unique to you. That’s why we lean on evidence-based treatment that caters to your needs as an individual. Understanding your story and how you got here allows us to find the best path toward overcoming addiction and improving your mental health.
Healing from substance use or mental health issues can be overwhelming, especially when you’re unsure about what your treatment will involve. At Sandstone, we aim to make the journey clearer for you, so here is what you can expect:
As you navigate treatment, it will be clear that no one’s pointing their finger at you, instead, we’re using your life leading up to treatment as a framework to create a sustainable recovery plan.
We empower your recovery journey by implementing five key components of our treatment.
Using the latest research to address your deepest physical, mental, and emotional issues.
Assessing where you are from a developmental standpoint and creating a treatment program based on your needs.
Including academic support in our programs to help teens get on track for academic success.
Developing an individualized plan that helps you discover your own values, beliefs, strengths, and passions.
Improving the quality of life as a family through therapy sessions allows your family to be open and honest about challenges.
By embracing diversity within our team, we ensure that our clients have the chance to connect with individuals who can empathize with and understand their unique experiences.
We are committed to fostering a culture of diversity, equity, & inclusion that not only enriches the lives of our employees, but also ensures the well-being and care of our clients, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, age, ability, or background.
We believe that embracing diversity and promoting equity and inclusion are integral to our mission of providing high-quality behavioral health services. This DEI Charter outlines our core principles and commitments to uphold these values within our organization.
The journey to substance use and mental health recovery for those in the LGBTQ+ community often involves overcoming unique challenges linked to societal discrimination, stigma, and judgement, making it important to foster an environment where everyone feels seen, accepted, and respected.
You should never feel worried about sharing who you are, especially when looking for a space to heal, which is why the staff at Sandstone Care provides treatment that’s rooted in evidence and inclusivity, ensuring you’re treated with the respect and understanding you deserve.
“This is a place for (you) to explore your gender, pronouns, and labels, without the huge social impact. Do what feels right to you, and we’ll help you figure out the healthiest way to do that.”
