Sandstone Care Richmond

About Sandstone Care Richmond

Sandstone Care Richmond is an outpatient addiction treatment program in the Richmond, Virginia area, serving teens and young adults from Henrico, Chesterfield, and Hanover Counties. They focus on age-specific care, built on the idea that young people experience substance use differently and recover best alongside peers at the same stage of life. The program treats alcohol, marijuana, stimulant, and opioid use, along with co-occurring mental health concerns like anxiety and depression. Two levels of care are offered: a day treatment program (PHP) that meets five days a week for about four weeks, and an intensive outpatient program (IOP) that runs four days a week for roughly 12 weeks, scheduled after school or work.

Treatment combines individual therapy, small group sessions, and family involvement, with plans tailored to each person rather than delivered as a fixed curriculum. Across Sandstone’s programs, clinicians draw on evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and medication management is available when it helps. A notable feature is academic and vocational support, which helps clients keep up with school or rebuild a career while in recovery. For anyone who needs a higher level of care first, Sandstone operates an adult detox center in Chantilly, Virginia, and a teen residential program in Crownsville, Maryland, making it possible to step down into outpatient care in Richmond.
