Age-Specific Treatment in a Supportive Setting

Sandstone Care provides residential and outpatient treatment designed exclusively for adolescents ages 13 to 18. The program addresses substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. Clients follow a structured daily routine that includes individual therapy, group sessions, and academic support, helping teens stay connected to their education goals during care.

Medication Management and Psychiatric Support

In addition to counseling and structured routines, clients at Sandstone Care may receive psychiatric evaluation and medication management to support their recovery. Options such as oral and injectable naltrexone may be used to treat substance use disorders, and psychiatric medications may be prescribed to address co-occurring mental health needs. These services are integrated into the program’s therapeutic model, which supports safer, more comprehensive care.

Trauma-Informed, Values-Based Approach

The program follows a trauma-informed model, integrating therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing. Clients also engage with the Commitment, Life Skills, Integrity, Connection, and Community (CLICC) framework, which helps build personal resilience, emotional regulation, and a foundation for long-term recovery.

Family Integration and Aftercare Support

Family involvement is central to care at Sandstone. Parents and caregivers participate in weekly family therapy, receive coaching and education, and collaborate with the care team throughout treatment. After residential care, clients may step down into partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient programs and receive discharge planning and ongoing support. This continuum of care supports long-term recovery and smoother transitions back to everyday life.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
