About Sandstone Care Teen Center at Cascade Canyon

For teens struggling with addiction and co-occurring mental health issues, their holistic treatment approach gets to the bottom of what’s hurting a teen’s well-being.

With a structured sleep schedule and chef-prepared meals, teens are ready to engage at their best during therapy and activities.
