Chicagoland Behavioral Health Services for Teens & Young Adults

As teen or young adult, life can be overwhelming. If you’re searching for Arlington Heights counseling services to help you or a loved one with mental health issues like depression, trauma, or anxiety, you’re in the right place.

Our Arlington Heights Mental Health Center provides in-person Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Programming (PHP). These flexible options provide comprehensive mental health care while allowing you to continue meeting your daily responsibilities.

Arlington Heights Mental Health Center Reviews

Our Clients Experience Reduced Levels of Anxiety and Depression

At Sandstone Care, we know disorders like anxiety and depression can have a profound impact on one’s ability to enjoy life. That’s why treatment programming at our mental health facilities in Illinois addresses both addiction and mental health challenges.

In a recent study of people who completed treatment with us, the group reported a 57% decrease in anxiety symptoms. The same group also experienced a 78% decrease in symptoms of depression.

These are life changing numbers for our alumni and their loved ones. And for those experiencing addiction, they can be the difference between relapse and lasting recovery.

“Sometimes navigating the mental health world can be a nightmare, [but Sandstone] is a very welcoming and easy environment.” – Nick

When Nick and his partner Alex arrived at Sandstone, they knew this was going to be different than any anxiety and depression center they’d experienced before. During their time with us, they learned how to navigate Nick’s diagnosis, advocate for his mental health, and strengthen their relationship through family therapy.

But don’t take our word for it: Listen to Nick and Alex’s shared experience of Sandstone’s outpatient center.

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.
