Sandstone Care Richmond – Addiction Rehab in Glen Allen, Virginia

Sandstone Care Richmond specializes in the treatment of substance use disorders and related mental health issues through outpatient programs tailored for adolescents aged 13-17 and young adults aged 18-30. By utilizing evidence-based practices specifically designed for different age demographics, they tackle the unique challenges facing these age groups. Their outpatient offerings include an intensive outpatient program (IOP) as well as a day treatment program, both situated in a calm and accessible locale in Richmond, VA. The center maintains a therapist-to-client ratio of 1:8 to ensure individualized attention for each client and their families. Treatment focuses on substance abuse alongside co-occurring mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and borderline personality disorder (BPD). Each treatment level involves one-on-one counseling, group therapy sessions, psychoeducational activities, and family therapy, including both multi-family sessions and individual family meetings. Therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), internal family systems therapy (IFS), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness practices. The day treatment program at Sandstone Care consists of five hours of therapy each day, five days per week, typically lasting between two and four weeks based on individual client needs. Following this, clients are encouraged to participate in the intensive outpatient program (IOP), which provides approximately 12 hours of treatment each week, conducted over three to four days. Both adolescents and young adults receive support for their educational and vocational aspirations from a dedicated advisor who assists with academic and career guidance. Additionally, Sandstone Care may incorporate medication-assisted therapies when appropriate to enhance recovery efforts. The professional team at Sandstone Care, comprising licensed clinicians, medical staff, therapists, and academic mentors, works collaboratively with clients' families throughout the treatment process. Families are invited to participate in weekly multi-family groups for mutual support and shared learning experiences. Individual family therapy sessions occur biweekly, fostering a deeper understanding of addiction, mental health challenges, recovery processes, boundary-setting, and emotional communication. After completing treatment, clients gain access to a vibrant alumni community that meets regularly, providing connections and resources within the community.
