About
Sandstone Care Colorado Springs specializes in the treatment of substance use disorders and related mental health issues through outpatient programs designed for adolescents aged 13 to 17 and young adults between 18 and 30. The facility employs research-supported, age-appropriate therapies to tackle the specific challenges that various age groups encounter. Their outpatient care options encompass an intensive outpatient program (IOP) and a day treatment program, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado Springs, CO.
With a therapist-to-client ratio of 1:8, Sandstone Care ensures individualized attention for both clients and their families. The center addresses substance use along with co-occurring mental health challenges, such as depression, trauma, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and borderline personality disorder (BPD). Each treatment level incorporates one-on-one therapy, group sessions, engaging activities, psychoeducation, and family therapy that involves both multi-family groups and individual sessions.
The day treatment program at Sandstone Care offers 5 hours of therapy per day, five days a week, typically lasting between two to four weeks based on individual requirements. Following this, clients are encouraged to transition into the intensive outpatient program (IOP), which provides approximately 12 hours of treatment weekly over 3 to 4 days. Throughout their journey, adolescents and young adults receive tailored academic and vocational guidance from a dedicated advisor, assisting them with educational and employment goals, as well as career exploration aligned with their aspirations. Additionally, Sandstone Care utilizes medication-assisted treatment to address mental health needs where necessary.
The dedicated team at Sandstone Care, which includes licensed clinicians, medical professionals, therapists, and academic support personnel, works closely with families throughout the treatment process. Families are invited to participate in weekly multi-family groups to access support and learn from others facing similar challenges. Individual family therapy sessions occur biweekly, focusing on education about addiction and mental health disorders, recovery strategies, boundary setting, and emotional communication. After completing the program, clients become part of a vibrant alumni community that meets frequently and provides access to various local resources.
