About SandyPines Hospital

Sandy Pines Hospital is a behavioral health facility in Jupiter, Florida. This facility offers residential mental health and addiction treatment for adolescents. They accommodate 149 patients in six units.

Five units are dedicated to serving adolescents aged 13 through 17 in a therapeutic and structured environment. If your child attends treatment here, they’ll get an individualized treatment plan and will be involved in several different clinical programs across campus. These programs include individual and group therapy, substance abuse counseling, and education at RiverBend Academy.

The substance abuse treatment program uses the stages of change model, 12-step work and meetings to help teens stay sober. Kids will also engage in cognitive behavioral therapy, individual therapy sessions, and recreational therapy. Other elements of treatment include animal therapy, exercise, leisure education, stress management, and anger management.

I found it interesting that this facility has an on-site school building (RiverBend Academy). It’s certified by the Florida Department of Education. The school building has classrooms, a library, a computer lab, and smart boards.

Some former clients and their parents have commented that Sandy Pines has been lifechanging for their children. Others have said that the administration portion of the program is disorganized.

Location

Accepted Insurance

SandyPines Hospital works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
If a person with a substance use disorder continually denies their problem or refuses to get treatment, a drug intervention in Florida may be necessary. Intervention services can help mediate the intervention by providing an addiction expert. This professional can de-escalate situations and facilitate a healthier discussion between the individual and their loved ones. Specialists can also help families handle issues they don't know how to navigate on their own.

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

My son was in Manatee. He made tremendous progress on this unit. He attributes this to the" amazing" staff of the unit as well as the therapy.He had medical issues come up which were promptly handled by the nursing staff.The only critiques that I have is some minor boundary concerns as well as poor communication betweenthe clinical staff/administrative staff/casemanagement and unit staff.I would and have recommended this program.

My parents sent me here in 2021 and I was on the Sea Turtle unit. I did not have a comfortable stay in any way. I was verbally assaulted by multiple staff and treated disrespectfully because of my gender identity. Staff encouraged fighting multiple times, one of them starting an actual fight, leaving me with a visible scar. My roommate started a fight with me and the staff made up multiple excuses as to why I was not allowed to switch my room. Almost all of the staff here are money hungry and treat the children poorly. Staff saw children instigating each other and did nothing to stop it. I was also put on unit restriction and the nurse on the unit refused the let me go to the bathroom because she was the only person on the unit. (I was the only child on the unit.)While there were a few other good staff, the only one I can point out for making my stay a little better is Mrs./Ms. Whitney. She was very comforting to talk to and kind to every child there, regardless of who they were or what they were there for. She did not judge.This facility is a terrible place and does not respect the the children who are there to get help. Do not send your child here unless you would like them to come back in worse condition then they were when they went in.

If you re thinking of sending your child here, don t. Sandy pines cares more about money than the well-being of your child. I was admitted here in 2015 and was physically and mentally abused. I was in the kids (under 13) unit, being 11 at the time. Most staff was cold and uncaring to me. My therapist called me a liar for speaking candidly about my mental health issues. I got accused multiple times of faking my previously diagnosed mental disorder which didn t make any sense because why would I be placed in residential care if I was faking? I would have undoubtedly preferred to be at home if I wasn t struggling so much. It was medical gaslighting plain and simple. It felt like they had no intention of actually treating me.On top of all that I got assaulted by another older patient and no staff intervened because they thought I had it coming (Once again: I was an 11 year old child and these were adults who were supposed to be taking care of me) Physical violence wasn t uncommon here. I had seen older kids hit children as young as 5 and more often than not staff was negligent.The only positives I can account for were some of the activities which, to be fair, your kid could experience at a summer camp for a fraction of the price. The ropes course was fun. I had fun making bracelets with other kids. The waterfall room was nice.Overall my stay at sandy pines was traumatic. I was here for only a month before my dad pulled me because he saw how horribly I was being treated. Other kids weren t so fortunate. In fact none of the kids at the unit I was in had visitors, most of them coming from broken homes. None of them had anyone to advocate for them. This place makes dollars off of traumatizing children who are voiceless. It should be illegal.I know you re scared for your child. I know how hard it is to be the parent of a child with mental health issues and how bleak the future can look. I was once a struggling child and now an adult who made it out the other side. Please don t give in to the lies of promised positive results listed on their website. All Sandy pines offers is incompetent service, a hefty price tag, and more often than not a child worse off than when they came in.

The staff breaks numerous written and moral codes. The nurses on staff (not all) give out the wrong medication to kids and then verbally harass/abuse them if they don t take the incorrect meds. It s neglectful, an abuse of power, and they have blatant disregard for the child s safety. The Techs on staff allow it and participates in the neglect of kids. THESE CHILDREN ARE TREATED LIKE DOGS! And the auto response to these comments PROVES THEY DONT CARE IF THEYRE MAKING MONEY!They turn therapy into a competition, which is sick. Excessive force on kids, purposely putting kids in an episode in a bad environment. The staff exclusively escalated situations. The techs were sick

My child is here now. Although there are some issues with the paraprofessional staff and a big disparity between clinical services and interaction on the unit, ( specific to specific people) my child is thriving.He's been there 5 weeks and has been able to actively participate and work through emotions that he was unwilling to even touch before.His behavior has done a 180.

Made a few attempts (4) to get my son some mental health treatment and provided documentation and reports from current psychiatrists as well as history. Sandy Punes isn t there to help those who need treatment.They have denied him making false allegations and excuses why they can t. I m fine with them denying him but making up bogus claims is absurd. On two occasions claimed my son had substance abuse issues and he doesn t. Not one piece of paperwork states he has substance abuse issues and every lab report that has tests have come back clean.Trying to get a 13 year old help shouldn t be this difficult. For those who do get approved for treatment I can only imagine the things they claim or say in order to get that insurance payment or funding from the state.AVOID AVOD AVOID!
