What is Transitional Living?

Transitional Living Center for Young Adult Men

The transitional living program is an integration between our recovery home and PHP or IOP programming. If you are going through treatment and are in need of a more structured living environment, this program is for you.

In supportive housing, you’ll have a balance of structure and accountability, but with the freedom to learn and grow. This program integrates treatment with a safe environment that supports recovery.

Our other extended residential programs in Colorado include another transitional living home for men in Colorado Springs, and a women’s transitional living in Boulder.

Transitional Housing Program Benefits

The Transitional Living Program in Denver, Colorado 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.

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.

A Life-Changing Experience at Sandstone Care Ignites New Purpose

“Things progressed where I was at the point that I wanted to die…My life now is very different after going through treatment at Sandstone…The people here, they really care.”

Navigating the maze of addiction treatment options can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. Listen to the heartfelt story of Alex, a real-life testament to the life-changing impact of our programming at Sandstone Care.

Alex is not a statistic or an abstract success story; she’s a person just like you who has struggled with addiction and mental health and has turned her entire life around through treatment at Sandstone.

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.

Cost depends on location. In the Denver metro area, we keep our treatment programs as affordable as possible while still maintaining the highest quality service possible. We are in-network with many insurance companies to make sure our transitional housing is also affordable housing. Call our admissions team at (888) 850-1890 or verify your insurance.

Yes. Our highly trained and caring housing managers are available any time residents are at the house to provide mentoring, life skills training, and to ensure that the home is a safe place for everyone.

Unlike other sober living homes, we do allow clients have access to their phones and computers throughout their stay.

No. We believe in starting with many privileges and only revoking access if necessary, so we do not have a blackout period when you begin our program.

The house is fully furnished and stocked. Bring clothing and essentials. The houses have TV’s and video game consoles, laundry, fully equipped kitchens and plenty of parking if you have a car.

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). Rather, we are a private recovery center providing health care in the form of addiction and mental health treatment to young adults and adults.

If you or someone you know is experiencing homelessness in the Denver, CO area, please reach out to Denver Rescue Mission, or visit their center on Smith Road.
