The teens in Sandstone Care’s residential program are bright and creative spirits who have been impacted by mental health struggles and drug addiction. Typically, they are struggling with, or have experienced, anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or substance use. Teens with a history of violence, teens that are actively suicidal or psychotic, teens that have a severe and persistent mental illness such as schizophrenia, or teens that exhibit behavioral issues that would disrupt the treatment milieu are not appropriate for Sandstone Care. Each teen is carefully screened by the admissions team, the treatment team, the Program Director, and if needed, the Executive Clinical Director and Medical Director for appropriateness.
