About Sandstone Care Teen Center at Chesapeake

Located in a quiet corner of Crownsville, Maryland, Sandstone Care offers drug rehabilitation services for teens struggling with substance use disorder and mental illness. The program lasts 60 to 90 days in a safe and structured environment. Experienced healthcare professionals will provide your loved one with personalized care that uses experiential therapies and evidence based treatments.

A Serene Location With Careful Supervision

The facility is located less than an hour outside of Baltimore in a cul-de-sac setting with multiple trees surrounding it. It provides clients with the calmness ideal to achieve healing. Teens will be monitored 24/7 with the appropriate safety measures in place so they can put their complete focus on mental and emotional growth.

The in-house chef will provide your loved ones with nutritious and delicious meals that fits with their diet needs. Well balanced meals are important for achieving overall healing, which can support the addiction recovery process.

Therapeutic Curriculum With Evidence Based Techniques

At the beginning of their stay, teens will be challenged to think about their identity outside of using substances. Counselors will also guide patients in learning new social skills and creating healthy relationships. As teens move deeper into the program, they’ll be learning positive coping skills such as taking up healthy hobbies and improving sleep quality. They’ll get a jump start on employment training while keeping up with their classes.

A few therapeutic activities they may do while they’re at the facility include journaling and yoga. These are activities they can continue to do outside of treatment in nearby nature settings, such as the Bacon Ridge Natural Areas. The final few weeks of treatment will focus on managing anger, mindfulness, and using cognitive behavioral skills to manage stress.

Doctor Doza is a great psychiatrist. He helps you with any problems you have and when you first see him he reviews all your previous medications and only prescribes the ones you need. I definitely recommend you see him and make him your permanent psychiatrist.

The people at this facility are amazing, and simply are saving lives. I would ignore the anon person below, they are likely incompetent or fail to understand the true nature of SUD treatment. The cops and the local hospital are incompetent as well, and often are extremely unprofessional. I would do your due diligence and take in many points of data - my child left the facility changed and for the better

A family member attended Sandstone for mental health and addiction treatment. After numerous attempts at other facilities, Sandstone was truly the catalyst for change. My family member is doing well and I'm deeply grateful that Sandstone was able to open their eyes in a way no other program was able to. The staff was professional, compassionate, and genuinely caring - something we hadn't experienced to this level at other places.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Clients receiving support in a rehab aftercare program typically partner with their case manager and care team to identify and access the services that best align with their recovery needs and goals. Rehab aftercare services are designed to evolve with clients' changing needs to promote their long-term sobriety. Care modalities are highly customized and may include a range of medical, mental health, and social service resources, including peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction.

For intensive-level rehab treatment, 24-hour clinical care in Maryland is an essential tool. Medical staff are available around the clock to supervise the process, which involves cleansing the body of toxins. Close supervision is necessary due to the potential risks of withdrawal symptoms. Medical experts on-site are available to prescribe medications and other forms of treatment to address these symptoms and ensure a safe detox process.

Treatments

Alcohol use disorder (AUD), commonly referred to as alcoholism, can be classified as mild, moderate, or severe. Each category involves unhealthy patterns of alcohol consumption and can cause harmful effects. To treat alcohol addiction at any level, alcohol rehab in Maryland is often necessary. These treatment programs provide psychological, social, and medical supports that help individuals overcome alcohol addiction and maintain long-term recovery.

Once a person has become addicted to a substance, drug rehab in Maryland is often necessary to overcome that addiction. These programs provide the tools individuals need to manage the physical, mental, and emotional issues involved and begin a successful recovery journey.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

In Maryland, substance abuse treatment programs support individuals struggling with drugs or alcohol, and those who also have mental health conditions. These rehab programs vary, depending on the level of care you need. That might include inpatient rehab, or an outpatient program. Typically, substance abuse treatment includes evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), recovery support meetings, and skills groups to equip you with new coping strategies when you leave rehab.

Treatment for drug and alcohol addiction often centers on improving mental health. Inpatient care is ideal for people who need closer monitoring while receiving therapeutic and mental health services. Standard therapies include group and individual counseling, relapse prevention education, coping skills training, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing and family support groups. With all critical therapies combined, there is a greater chance for improving mental health and achieving sustained recovery.

mental-health iconMental Health And Substance Abuse

Maryland's addiction experts understand the importance of dual-diagnosis addiction treatment in their inpatient and outpatient recovery programs. Dual-diagnosis means having two mental health disorders at the same time, like addiction and depression. By treating individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions simultaneously, they can enhance recovery outcomes and improve overall health, reducing the risk of relapse. Programs include evidence-based therapies, family counseling, recovery support groups, and skills training. Additional services may include medically assisted detox, 12-Step facilitation, equine therapy, complementary treatments, and alumni programs.

Programs

Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.

Clinical Services

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Maryland emphasizes your current life rather than what has happened in the past. Your therapist will help you develop methods to deal with current and future challenges so you can cope in healthy ways that don't involve substances.

During dialectical behavior therapy sessions, you'll review the challenges you faced the previous week and the feelings you experienced during those times. You and your therapist will engage in problem solving, discussing how you can handle those situations in the future for a better outcome. This involves keeping a diary throughout the week to track your emotions.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Four key principles guide motivational interviewing. These are empathy, self efficacy, rolling with resistance, and developing discrepancy. These techniques allow the client to examine their motivations for change, identify discrepancies in their current situation and future goals, and feel empowered to make changes to reach their goals.

The focus of trauma therapy is to heal the emotional wounds that occurred when you witnessed or experienced a traumatic event. Therapy helps you process this trauma emotionally and mentally so you develop healthier coping skills and improve your quality of life.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

I would definitely not recommend this franchise for any SUD treatment. The only exception is Laquandra Williams, the family counselor. She truly tried to help our son and our family and had the skills and knowledge to do so. Other than Ms. Williams, the staff lacked basic understanding of SUD. They ignored existing diagnoses and multiple recommendations for a structured, predictable environment. My son described it as “overcrowded” and "loud" and “chaotic” and “nothing to do”. This led to an exacerbation of existing stress and creation of new bad behaviors. At intake, we had to sign paperwork listing the rules. Every time a rule was address, she would say, “But nobody follows that rule.” Over and over again. It was true. Kids would literally just walk out the front door to go get high because they knew that no one would stop them. Sandstone uses the local sheriff’s department and local ERs to do their dirty work. My son was somehow provided with cigarettes and lighters, and was allowed to walk unsupervised. He was allowed alone time with girls. He was administered a cocktail of over the counter medicines at night, and was allowed to crush up (and presumably snort) his prescribed medication. I cannot explain how much worse he got while here, and how terribly my family was treated. We were told at intake that we could opt to do family therapy online so we wouldn’t have to travel, and I understood that we could visit on weekends. None of this was true. We were not permitted to see our son at all. The “education coordinator” was there only to make sure that his home school wasn’t requiring him to do schoolwork. He was told that all of his behaviors and problems were caused by others, and that God was the source of the shame he felt for the things he did while he was using. I’ve read the reviews, and am not sure who these professionals are who are commending Sandstone. I can tell you that the local ERs, where the kids go after they AWOL, have absolutely nothing positive to say about Sandstone. Nothing. I was encouraged to remove him by both local ER staff and DSS. The only way we could get him out of there was to get him transferred to a psych ward to stabilize him and sober him up, because no other facility could understand the chaotic stuff in his records from Sandstone and because he started using again while he was there. When I picked him up to go to the psych ward, his clothes were FILTHY. I mean, I didn’t even want to touch them to wash them because they smelled and felt so nasty. Thankfully, after he was stabilized, all of that chaos subsided and he was able to transfer to a truly useful place that understands SUD and his issues. We are so grateful for where he is now. But it took him a long time to unlearn the bad behaviors and completely lack of consequences and predictability that he learned at Sandstone. Parents, I know how limited the resources are for kids with SUD. But please, please, keep looking.
