Sandstone Care Maryland #403 Rockville

The Rockville location serves two distinct age groups: teens 13 to 17 and young adults 18 to 30. Care is designed around where each person actually is in life, so an adolescent's program looks different from one built for someone in their twenties. Both tracks address substance use alongside co-occurring mental health concerns such as depression, trauma, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, ADHD and borderline personality disorder. The setting is the Washington, D.C. area, and treatment happens in an outpatient format rather than around-the-clock residential care.

One thing that separates this center is its size per therapist. The ratio is 1 therapist to 8 clients, which supports individualized attention. Families are brought into the process rather than kept at arm's length. Licensed clinicians, medical staff, therapists and academic support professionals coordinate regularly with parents and loved ones, and the team is Joint Commission accredited, which is worth confirming on your own before admission.

This center opened in 2016. Two levels of care are available, day treatment and intensive outpatient, and people in either one take part in individual counseling, group sessions, structured group activities and psychoeducation. Nearby sober living homes reserved for a specific gender are another option some clients choose.

Programs and care tiers

The center's care options are outpatient, with two main levels: a day treatment program and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Day treatment offers 5 hours of therapy each day, five days per week, and typically runs about 4 weeks, though length varies with individual needs. The day treatment program at this Rockville outpatient center runs five days weekly. After day treatment, clients are encouraged to step down to the IOP, which generally provides about 12 hours of weekly programming across 3 to 4 days.

Treatment relies on evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. Sandstone Care Maryland #403 Rockville pairs evidence-based therapy with family involvement. Other options include 1-on-1 counseling, art therapy, experiential therapy, EMDR, family therapy, meditation and mindfulness, and therapy focused on trauma. Art and music therapy, nutritional counseling, yoga and games as structured activities complete the picture. Medication-assisted treatment is offered when appropriate for managing mental health conditions. Someone who requires round-the-clock monitoring will not be served well at this level, so a higher level of care should be explored.
