About Sandstone Care Colorado Springs Outpatient Center

Located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Sandstone Care Colorado Springs Outpatient Center provides outpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation to teens and young adults. They’re accredited by multiple organizations such as the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers. Their programs are designed to address the unique challenges that teens and young adults face with addiction. The facility offers a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP)

Guiding Your Teen To Recovery

The focus of the substance use program for teens is to give you and your child the resources and community needed for long term recovery. The staff makes use of evidence based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy as well as experiential therapies such as yoga and physical activities. Teen clients will receive individual, group and family therapy. I like that this facility also provides academic and vocational services. The staff will help your teen develop organizational skills to have stability in school and at home.

Addiction Treatment Catered to Young Adults

Staff members will help young adults address mental health concerns causing substance misuse and work to restore relationships that have been harmed by their addiction. The staff is trained to heal individuals dealing with addictions to stimulants, marijuana, opioids and alcohol. The group sessions you participate in will be small in size, so you feel comfortable and get the attention you need. The facility also provides support services for your family so they can better support you and heal from any issues that have resulted from addiction.

Hiking After Treatment in Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs is surrounded by various mountainous areas where you can enjoy a nice hike in between your treatment sessions. Some good parks to check out include Ute Valley Park and Pulpit Rock Park.

Impeccable service through the phone, great therapists, really welcoming! They helped me get the care I needed and supported me with my decision to switch to a more specialized program. Very people oriented! Edit: After going to a different program, I have to knock off a star. I learned more coping skills and about my mental health in 3 days compared to the 2 weeks I was at sandstone. Sandstone is still an excellent place, I think they just need to work on eduction and skills practice!!

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.

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

We had looked at sandstone care often on for about a year before we made the decision to send him there. During our last talk, they reassured us they would be able to handle our son who had a habit of running. So we decided to admit him, with his agreement to go. When arriving there, They stressed the importance of when emailing email everybody on the list and always reply to all. And they would do the same, and that did not really Always reply to me and my wife. The first night, my son decided to run. They called us when we were in Kansas City, Missouri and we’re from St. Louis so we were about six hours away. When talking to D she Said she was a said she was a nursing administrator, and did not seem to care that he ran away and could not give us very much any information and was very nonchalant about the whole situation. We thought we left our son with people we could trust and we’re hours away and it seemed like they didn’t care and we were really frantic on the whole situation for his safety. One thing that we never told when we dropped our son off there was it may take up to an hour or more for the police to show up for a runaway from sandstone in Colorado Springs. When we were talking to Dee and we had mentioned that we might pull our son Dee pretty much said the bags be waiting on the porch. Dee even though Did not really care if we got him or not. My son ended up coming back on his own. And the next day when we talked to one of the directors, we said that we would come and get him. They said that’s exactly what he wants And you should stick to the program. So we left him there and on the following Monday he decided to leave again. Then we were called after that happened and we were told to come get him and we had 48 hours to come get him. And keep in mind we are roughly 12 hours away. So when you think of that way, they gave him exactly what they wanted. They never told us if he ran twice he’ll be kicked out of the program. If we would’ve known this, we would’ve got him on the first night that he Ran away. The funny thing is keeping him till Monday was just enough time to eat up all the deductible and for them to collect over $2000. One thing I would say about sand Stone, if your kid is not there in a court order and they’re known for on the way, do not waste your time or money. There’s a good chance you’re kid will run and they will not care and you’ll you’ll just be out money. Not once they offer our money back or any solutions that they said they could that they would consider helping. The 1st night that he had ran away, we were told that they had a locked facility that they could transport him Find out that was not the truth. In the end, they could not answer or was not willing to answer a lot of of our questions. So again, if your kid is not there on a court order and they are known runner Time or money they cannot handle them, or do they really care if they can or not.

They are exactly why 10s of thousands of people die every year from lack of "Healthcare!" I told him I had two distinct and well known threats on my life from both Factor 5 and 3 vertibrea crushing my cervical spinal cord. He repeatedly argued with me, hung up on me...and, blocked not only my cell number but my Google number as well. (I'll have to go get a 3rd, 4th, 5th numbers for them to block.) Guess I'll have to call someone else about my Xeralto dependency. This is exactly why I record not only my phone calls but every time I come even remotely close to any part of Healthcare especially the ER! Iffin you wanna hear the recordings feel to to holler at justagrashoper around that thar hotmail way.
