Drug & Alcohol Treatment Options

Struggling with substance use or addiction? Our rehab centers can help.

Alcohol

The transition between recreational alcohol use and alcohol dependence can be a subtle one. But if you’re finding that you can’t stop drinking when you want to, you may have alcohol dependence.

Marijuana

Similar to alcohol use, smoking or ingesting marijuana has become normalized as a way to relax or take the edge off. When overused, it can make you feel unable to cope with life without using.

Stimulants

A stimulant is any drug that increases your central nervous system activity. Stimulants are used to heighten attention, hyperactivity, and alertness. Abuse of these drugs can lead to a variety of health problems.

Opioids

Opioids are a class of drugs that include synthetic opioids, pain killers, and the illegal drug heroin. These drugs, including prescription medications, are highly addictive.

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 our treatment programming 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 for those experiencing addiction, they can be the difference between relapse and lasting recovery.

The First 48 Hours: Assessments & Evaluations

The first 48 hours of detox are crucial, and your comfort and safety during that stage is our highest priority. Once you are stabilized at our Colorado Springs rehab center, we will then complete a full medical, psychiatric, and psychological assessment.

These evaluations give us a clear picture of how we can help you in your recovery journey, and allow us to tailor a treatment plan to your unique needs. You can expect the assessment process to cover the following topics:

Physical Health

In addition to an initial evaluation with our Nurse Practitioner, you will be assessed every four hours by a member of our nursing team. This nursing assessment includes checking vital signs, monitoring withdrawal symptoms, and administering medications as needed.

Individualized Treatment Plans
Substance Abuse Evaluation

You will have an initial evaluation of your substance use to make sure that your treatment team has all of the information they need to take care of you in the best way possible.

This information will be gathered again later during the biopsychosocial assessment, which is completed by a therapist or certified addiction counselor.

Icon Mental Health
Mental Health

Each day, you will have a one-on-one check in with a therapist or counselor to evaluate your mental and emotional status, as well as any symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, or any other mental health disorders you may be struggling with.

Sandstone Care -  Mental Health & Substance Use Treatment
Medication Management

Co-occurring Mental Health Disorder Treatment Explained

Treating Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions

Not only are we experts in safe medical detox and substance use treatment, but we also specialize in mental health treatments at our Colorado Springs rehab center.

We understand that there’s often overlap in symptoms between drug use and mental health disorders, so our staff is trained to identify and treat mental health conditions that commonly appear alongside substance use disorder.

It’s very important to treat both challenges together, as some symptoms of mental health disorders can make addiction recovery more difficult. Our Sandstone mental health treatment uses holistic medical detox methods that address your mental struggles, so you can reach recovery and continue to thrive after treatment.

Program Highlights

You are more than your addiction, and our program is built to reflect that. We offer 24/7 medically supervised care to support a safe and comfortable stabilization followed by a comprehensive, holistic treatment approach that addresses your physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual needs.

Therapy that Treats You Fully

Our inpatient program offers six hours of therapeutic group per day, two individual therapy sessions per week with a licensed therapist, and 24/7 clinical support.

Care that Fits Your Needs

Sandstone Care is not a standalone detox. In addition to our residential program, we have a full continuum of care with varying intensities of inpatient and transitional living programming designed to meet your unique needs.

Environments Where You Can Heal

There are televisions in rooms, high staff to low client ratio, chef-prepared meals, ample green space, and uncompromised support from every staff member. Feeling comfortable is not an extra addition to your treatment, it is one of the core focuses of our program.

Planning for Your Next Step

We are focused on helping you set a foundation for a strong future. That is why we begin to work with you on a discharge plan from the moment you walk through the door. Your plan includes referrals and a warm hand-off to another treatment center if needed.

A Day at Detox

Early Mornings: Waking up

During the first few days of a drug and alcohol detox, rest is extremely important. You will ease into your mornings with scheduled time specifically for waking up, getting ready for the day, breakfast, and meeting with a member of the medical team.

The nursing staff will spend time with you individually in order to check on your vital signs, assess your withdrawal symptoms, and administer any medications that you were prescribed.

Mid-Mornings: Letting it out

After completing your morning routine, you will be invited to join staff and their peers in the common area for morning group. This is a time for you to share how you’re feeling emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually, and for staff to assess your needs.

Discussions are led by a licensed therapist or addiction counselor and range from topics like self-esteem, relationships, and trust, to relapse prevention and life changes.

Afternoons: Opening up

You can count on receiving the essential nutrients your body and mind need to kickstart the healing process. Our culinary team prepares daily family-style lunches.

After lunch, you’ll be invited to join our clinical staff and peers for an afternoon group therapy, delving into topics like mindfulness, life skills, managing cravings, and coping strategies.

Evenings: Community & Reflections

Connect with others who truly understand your journey. After dinner, you’ll have the opportunity to engage in an on-site recovery meeting led by people who understand what you’re going through. These meetings rotate between 12-Step, SMART Recovery, and Refuge Recovery.

After the meeting, unwind with fellow clients, express yourself in your journal, and catch up with family over the phone. You’ll also receive your necessary medications and check in with medical staff who will evaluate your wellness.

At the end of the night, you’ll gather for a brief nightly reflection led by a behavioral health team member. During this meeting you can share how you’re doing mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. You will also have the chance to make amends for any mistakes you made during the day.

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.

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.

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 treatment services. (Please note: We only treat young adults and adults at our Colorado Springs detox location, and do not treat adolescents.)

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. Call us today at (888) 850-1890.

Every person Sandstone Care treats is different. While some detox facilities have a set number of days and a detox protocol that is the same for everyone, we tailor our treatment to meet our clients where they are at. The average length of stay is 5-21 days.

Some of the factors that impact length of stay at our rehab programs are:

  • What substances you are detoxing from
  • How long you have been drinking or using drugs
  • How often you have been drinking or using drugs
  • Your overall physical and mental health
  • Any underlying medical conditions you may have

Your healthcare provider can make a referral for an inpatient or outpatient rehab in Colorado Springs, or you can enter one of the search terms below in a search engine to locate one on your own that meets your needs and budget:

  • “rehab near me”
  • “rehab Colorado Springs”
  • “Colorado Springs rehab facilities”
  • “alcohol rehabilitation center near me”
  • “drug and alcohol rehab Colorado Springs”
  • “Colorado Springs drug treatment center”
  • “drug detox near me”
  • “medical detox Colorado Springs”
  • “residential treatment centers Colorado”

Since alcohol and substance use are considered health issues, your insurance might pay for some or all of the cost of treatment.

If you’re looking for the best outpatient rehab near you, Sandstone Care’s Colorado Springs outpatient centers are some of the treatment centers in Colorado, offering mental health services, IOP and PHP, family therapy, substance abuse treatment, and more. These rehabs in Colorado Springs offer comprehensive treatment that go beyond treating your addiction in the short-term and prioritize sustainable recovery.

When you arrive to the Colorado Springs Detox & Inpatient Center, you will be greeted at the door by one of our staff members. A nurse and behavioral health technician will guide you through the admission and intake process which includes several assessments and initial evaluations. Then you will be shown to your bedroom and given some time to settle in and meet other staff and clients in the facility.

Each client is supported by a highly credentialed, multidisciplinary treatment team that includes a Medical Doctor, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Licensed Clinicians, Registered Nurses, Addiction Counselors, and Case Managers.

Each member of our clinical staff is well-versed in alcohol addiction and drug abuse treatments, so you can be confident you’re getting the best care.
