About this facility
Sandstone Care Residential in the Alps is a behavioral health facility specializing in treating young adults aged 18 to 30 who are grappling with mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and co-occurring substance use disorders. They provide personalized, age-specific care and treatment plans designed specifically to guide young adults through their challenges while building a foundation for an independent, fulfilling future.
Sandstone Care helps young adults understand their mental health condition, grow in self-compassion, and build community. They blend 1-on-1 therapy, daily support groups, and family sessions to explore clients’ values, strengths, passions, and connections. Through evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), clients learn to shift unhelpful thought patterns, regulate intense emotions, and develop healthier ways to navigate life’s challenges.
Sandstone Care’s residential facility offers a distraction-free space for healing in Boulder’s peaceful foothills, surrounded by nature. Clients share rooms in a supportive environment that encourages focus and connection. In-house chefs provide nutritious, well-balanced meals tailored to dietary needs, helping support both physical and mental wellness.
After residential treatment, Sandstone Care’s dedicated aftercare team ensures clients stay supported with ongoing resources and connections. Their discharge planners offer personalized aftercare planning, including seamless transitions into day treatment, intensive outpatient, or transitional living programs. These step-down options provide continued support without the hassle of starting over elsewhere, helping clients maintain momentum and stability.
