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.”

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.

You Have Questions. We Have Answers.

Our goal is to provide the most helpful information. Please reach out to us at (888) 850-1890 if you have any additional questions. We are here to help in any way we can.

The amount of treatment you will need varies depending on your individual needs. At Sandstone Care, we believe in treating you as a whole person instead of just treating your substance use disorder in isolation, which is why length of stay may vary.

Typically, you can expect the Young Adult IOP program to be 16 hours a week, from 8 to 12 weeks.

After treatment, you will also have the opportunity to join support groups and other aftercare modalities to maintain the momentum you found in our drug addiction recovery program.

Yes. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is proven to be effective in treating substance use disorders, especially in combination with evidence-based therapy and counseling. Our personalized programming is designed to learn your needs and goals so we can choose the best course of treatment for your specific challenges. By offering medically-supervised withdrawal from substances, we help our clients recover quickly and safely from drug or alcohol use.

We also recognize that not all situations call for MAT. Our medical team will evaluate your circumstances and determine what type of treatment is appropriate for you. Learn more about Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) here.

Yes, everyone living in one of our houses has access to their devices.

The young adults at Sandstone Care are people who have been impacted by a variety of addiction and mental health issues. Typically they are struggling with or have struggled with anxiety, depression, trauma, and drug abuse.

The safety of our clients is our top priority, so individuals who exhibit behavioral issues that would disrupt the treatment milieu are not appropriate for Sandstone Care. This includes individuals with a history of violence, are actively suicidal or psychotic, or who have severe and persistent mental illness such as schizophrenia.

Each client is carefully screened by the admissions team and the Program Director before they enter the recovery center.

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. However, 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.

There are a variety of different effective approaches and strategies for providing treatment for substance abuse problems.

Early intervention can help reduce the harm of substances, reduce risk behaviors, and improve health and social function. Health care that is age group specific and involves family members is also proven to work faster and last longer than other addiction treatment programs.

The most common and effective interventions for substance abuse have been shown to include a form of behavioral health therapy in order for you to learn coping skills.

Examples of mental health treatments can include Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

The approach to young adult addiction treatment is different for each individual. Transitional living homes may be suitable for you if you are in early recovery and need a safe and supportive environment to live in while attending a rehab program.

Having a support system is crucial in addiction treatment for young adults, and a transitional living house can provide a supportive community to fortify your recovery.
