About SandyPines Hospital – Jupiter
Sandy Pines Hospital is a behavioral health facility in Jupiter, Florida. This facility offers residential mental health and addiction treatment for adolescents. They accommodate 149 patients in six units.
Five units are dedicated to serving adolescents aged 13 through 17 in a therapeutic and structured environment. If your child attends treatment here, they’ll get an individualized treatment plan and will be involved in several different clinical programs across campus. These programs include individual and group therapy, substance abuse counseling, and education at RiverBend Academy.
The substance abuse treatment program uses the stages of change model, 12-step work and meetings to help teens stay sober. Kids will also engage in cognitive behavioral therapy, individual therapy sessions, and recreational therapy. Other elements of treatment include animal therapy, exercise, leisure education, stress management, and anger management.
I found it interesting that this facility has an on-site school building (RiverBend Academy). It’s certified by the Florida Department of Education. The school building has classrooms, a library, a computer lab, and smart boards.
Some former clients and their parents have commented that Sandy Pines has been lifechanging for their children. Others have said that the administration portion of the program is disorganized.
