Sandstone Care Treatment Center

Age-Specific, Peer-Oriented Programming

The center offers separate treatment tracks for adolescents and young adults, creating age-appropriate care environments where clients are supported by peers in similar life stages. These peer-based groups help normalize challenges related to school, relationships, and early adulthood while building community throughout the recovery process.

Integrated Addiction and Mental Health Treatment

Clients receive coordinated care for substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and eating disorders. Treatment incorporates evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing. Medication management and psychiatric services are also available when needed.

Academic and Career Development

Education and career support are woven into the treatment experience. Dedicated advisors help clients catch up on schoolwork, prepare for GED testing, or explore employment options. This emphasis on academic and vocational progress is particularly helpful for clients rebuilding daily structure and planning for life after treatment.

Flexible Care Model with Family Involvement

Offering partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and outpatient detox, the facility is designed for clients who need structured support without pausing life responsibilities. Sandstone also prioritizes family engagement through therapy and weekly virtual support groups for parents, helping loved ones stay informed and involved in the recovery process.

Suburban Setting and Accessible Services

Located in a professional medical building in suburban Towson, the center provides a quiet, clinically oriented environment. Designated areas for vaping and smoking are available, and telehealth options expand access for those managing work, school, or transportation barriers.
