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.

Comprehensive PHP and IOP Options

Our center for behavioral health in Rockville, MD offers both Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for teens and young adults who could benefit from mental health support, while living at home and continuing to attend school or work.
