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.

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.

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.
