Sandstone Care Virginia Beach

The center focuses on substance use and mental health care for two age groups: adolescents from 13 to 17 and young adults from 18 to 30. Virginia Beach rehab programs at Sandstone Care serve 247 SAMHSA-listed facilities' peers across the state, but this site is an outpatient option, not a residential one. Treatment can include day treatment or intensive outpatient services, depending on what a clinician recommends after an assessment.

Sandstone Care is Joint Commission accredited and has been running since 2016. Care is outpatient only, so people stay at home or in a sober living setting while attending scheduled sessions. With a 1:8 therapist-to-client ratio, the Virginia Beach center offers individualized evidence-based addiction treatment for each person. Families take part throughout, through weekly multi-family sessions and biweekly individual family therapy.

An advisor at the center supports young people with educational aims, finding work, and thinking through career paths. Medication management is also offered for mental health conditions. Substance use and co-occurring disorders are addressed together here, a pairing that comes up often among adolescents and young adults.

Levels of care and services

Day treatment at this Virginia Beach center involves five hours of therapy daily, five days a week, and generally runs about four weeks. If you are unsure whether day treatment or intensive outpatient is the right fit for Virginia Beach, then call the helpline to talk through options. Clients are usually encouraged to move down to the intensive outpatient program afterward, which provides around 12 hours of treatment weekly across three to four days. Most people spend about 90 days in the program overall, though the plan is shaped by what each person needs. The therapy mix includes cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance commitment therapy, EMDR, art therapy, experiential therapy, family therapy, and mindfulness work. Virginia Beach alcohol rehab and drug rehab services here are evidence-based and personalized to each client's needs.

When someone needs more than outpatient care, the center's team can assist with referrals. The helpline is an information resource rather than a clinic; trained advisors connect callers with licensed providers at no cost and without commitment. If you need residential care, the helpline can help you locate SAMHSA-listed facilities in Virginia that provide that level.

Setting, size, and languages

Sandstone Care Virginia Beach operates as an outpatient center, which means it has no overnight beds. At one time this Virginia Beach facility serves between 31 and 50 clients, with internet access and chances to get outdoors. Rooms are air-conditioned, spaces are private or shared, TVs are available, and cell phones are permitted. Games and yoga are among the activities. Services are offered in English. You will find the center at 5040 Corporate Woods Dr. Suite 120-A, Virginia Beach, VA 23462. Should you require a residential setting, this center's outpatient-only model may not be the right fit, so request referral information during your call.

Payment and insurance in Virginia Beach

Cash pay rates are listed among this center's payment options, and insurance is verified by staff over the phone before someone is admitted. Certain outpatient services may be covered by Virginia Medicaid, so ask about that coverage specifically when you call if you have it. A helpline advisor can assist you in learning whether your plan covers outpatient care here, though coverage or a bed cannot be promised by anyone. Helpline calls are free of charge, kept private, and place no obligation on you. When alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal is a concern, clinicians should supervise it; ask about medical support during your call.

What to ask before you're admitted

• How does the center coordinate with schools or employers for young people in the program?

• How does the center handle aftercare planning, including recovery coaching and alumni events?
