Young Adult Men’s Transitional Living

You may not feel ready to jump back into life at home, and that’s okay. If you are worried that that your living situation might interrupt the momentum you’ve found in treatment, a transitional living program will provide you with a recovery-focused environment.

Our extended residential program is available for clients who are actively engaged in PHP or IOP treatment with us.

The program offers a balance of accountability and the freedom to grow. With a carefully curated treatment that is personalized for you, you’ll get the tools to navigate life’s challenges while enjoying the support of peers who share your goals.

Transitional Housing Program Benefits

The Transitional Living Program offers countless benefits for those in need of recovery support services. Your treatment providers will ensure you have everything you need in your home-away-from-home.

Along with providing total recovery support from your Housing Managers and peers, the transitional housing program will teach you self-sufficiency skills that you can take with you when you complete treatment.

Choosing Sobriety and Accountability

“My life has improved in every aspect, I think because I’m not relying on something that could be so detrimental to me just to feel like myself… I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m still growing and I don’t have all the answers. And I’m okay with that.”

Taking the first step to overcoming addiction doesn’t have to be hard. Take some time to listen to Nico share his story of making the choice to pursue sobriety, along with the incredible ways his life has improved since.

If you’re considering entering a young adult drug treatment program, know that you aren’t alone and have a compassionate community cheering you on at Sandstone. Begin your journey by verifying your insurance or giving us a call.

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.

How is Transitional Living Helpful?

If you’re a young adult (18-30) and you feel like your home-environment makes it difficult to heal from your addiction, a recovery living program can be a lifeline.

Sober living homes like transitional housing offer a substance-free environment where you can focus on the treatment services you’re receiving.

Monday through Friday, you’ll attend treatment for 5 hours a day. There, you’ll engage in therapy, support groups, and other treatment programs according to your case management. In the evenings and on weekends, you’ll get to bond with your peers during fun outings and activities.

Under the guidance and support of our expert staff, the path to lasting recovery will be much easier to find.

We provide residential treatment centers (RTCs) for teens (13-18) and young adults (18-30), treating mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use.

Our teen RTCs treat adolescents in a serene setting with smaller group sizes and a focus on strengthening the family unit. The length of stay is 60-90 days. Our young adult RTC offers young adults a peaceful environment in which they can be treated for mental health challenges within 30-45 days. Both RTCs create a distraction-free space for healing, helping clients return to daily life feeling more balanced and well.

No, Transitional Living is not housing for homeless families or people with disabilities.

Transitional Living is short-term housing for people actively in recovery from substance abuse or mental health issues. We are not a non-profit outreach center (think Warren Village in Denver, or the Salvation Army and its ministries) — we are a private recovery center providing health care in the form of addiction and mental health treatment to teens, young adults, and adults.

If you or someone you know is experiencing homelessness in the Colorado Springs area, please reach out to Springs Rescue Mission.
