Commencing Treatment at Sandstone Care: In-Depth Assessments

As soon as a patient expresses their interest in joining, they must undergo a series of initial assessments. Assessments at Sandstone Care Denver include the following steps:

Family Meeting

The first step in an assessment includes meeting with the patient and their family together. The session lasts for 15 to 30 minutes, during which an expert aims to comprehensively understand the patient’s situation through each family member’s perspective. They ask open-ended questions to learn as much as possible about the current circumstances.

One-on-one Meeting with Teen

Once the assessment team has discussed everything in detail with the family, they will ask them to step out of the room so that they can commence the one-on-one meeting with the teen or young adult. This individual session typically lasts from 60 to 90 minutes, during which the experts learn as much as possible about what the patient is going through. They also aim to dig into their social, vocational, academic, psychiatric, and family life and their substance use history. Some common questions that they may ask the patient include:

• How’s school going?
• What is your relationship like with your parents?
• Who do you like to hang out with?
• What do you like to do in your free time?
• Do you ever feel lonely?

Once the assessment team has learned as much as possible, they will invite the family members to discuss the potential next steps. They will also be freely available to answer any questions that the family members or the patient may have about the working of Sandstone rehab.

Discussing Next Steps

Once the family returns to the room, the assessment team will spend the next 15 to 30 minutes talking about their findings during the assessment process. Suppose the experts believe that the patient and their family are a good fit for the program offered at Sandstone. In that case, they will discuss the programs that will most appropriately fit their needs and answer any questions that the client may have regarding these programs. However, if the experts believe that a program at Sandstone Care may not be a good next step for someone, they will collaborate with the client to find a different option that better suits their needs.

Sandstone Care Therapy and Programs

Once the initial assessment has been performed, an expert may enroll their young patients in one of the following programs:

Residential Care

Residential care programs at Sandstone Care Colorado Springs provide an intimate environment with limited group sizes and resident numbers to ensure privacy and individualized care. The typical length of stay in this program is around 45 to 60 days and includes highly customizable aftercare plans that every client makes with their therapist for a smooth transition back to home life.

The residential home at Sandstone Care is situated among the Pikes Peak Mountain in Colorado and spreads across 6 acres of land in Central Maryland. The program regularly involves family and includes them in treatment as much as possible to set a strong foundation for recovery.

Virtual Intensive Outpatient Services

The virtual intensive outpatient program (IOP) lasts for 8 to 12 weeks of engagement in live programming of up to 10 hours per week. This treatment program runs after work or school so that clients can continue seeking help without disrupting their work and school life. Their family members are also welcome to join through telehealth sessions using a phone, tablet, or computer.

All services for teens (between 13 to 17 years of age) and young adults (between 10 to 30 years of age) happen through a secure online platform that is compliant with HIPPA. The treatment sessions take place under the supervision of master’s level therapists and target clients’ physical, mental, and emotional states simultaneously. Some common elements of the virtual intensive outpatient program at Sandstone Care include the following:

• Psychiatric Consultations
• Medication Management
• Academic Support
• Individual Therapy
• Multi-family Group Therapy
• Vocational Training

Outpatient Therapy

Once clients have completed residential or intensive outpatient programs, they can step down to online outpatient Sandstone therapy that runs for 2 to 3 hours per week, slowly reducing to one time per week. During this therapy, clients also work with their primary therapists on an aftercare plan involving community-based providers and specialists to receive ongoing care and support.
