Sandstone Inpatient Treatment Centre

I went to EHN Sandstone at a point in my life where I felt hopeless and despair. Addicted to alcohol as my only crutch. My inpatient time at Sandstone was transforming. The level of education, care and support was at a level I could have not possibly expected... to the credit of all of the Sandstone staff. They renewed my belief in myself and that I could overcome. Without question, I highly recommend ENH Sandstone to anyone experiencing mental health issues and/or addiction challenges.

It will be difficult to express what an incredible and life changing experience I had at SS, but I’ll do my best.When I arrived at SS, I was broken, and had been for a very long time. I had very little hope, if any, that treatment Center number 13 would help stop my suffering from addiction and trauma.I chose SS because it is a small centre. Approximately 1-14 clients. The website presented a very quiet intimate setting in a home like facility. It was just like that.From the moment I walked through the front door, ( scared, insecure and on the brink of a full blown anxiety attack) I was welcomed by the head of administration (A). It was like she could read my mind. She was so kind, compassionate and gentle, I still call her an Angel to this day. I looked around briefly and felt like I was in someone’s home. Beautiful cozy country like furnishings with a huge see through fireplace. I instantly felt safe.I had been clean many times for good stretches of time, but invariably I would end up relapsing. Each time although brief, became more and more difficult to come back from and the depression and shame was killing me.SS takes each client, does a number of assessments to determine what your needs are in terms of addiction and mental illness. I spent most of my first two weeks under going very detailed extensive assessments from psychiatrists doctors , nurses and my primary counsellor. When this recon was completed, the team knew exactly what I needed, with a plan of how to meet those needs. I have never ever experienced a staff, and I mean from the client support workers to the chef and everyone in between so totally committed to helping me get well. My counsellor approached my care from an angle that no one ever had in the past. They work as one unit ( the staff) they are all involved in your care. They do not leave a stone unturned. I really could and would really love to share my whole experience with the readers, but it would be too long. Let me just say, I left SS 49 days later, a different person. A person filled with hope and confidence. Most of all, I figured out who I was… and I like him… a lot.Forever great full,Johnathan C

i have been to rehabilitation centers before, and this experience was superior.The staff was fantastic and the counselling sessions are amazing. The food is extraordinary and its a comfortable warm setting. I look forward to continuing on with the intensive outpatient program. Thank you Sandstone!

I'll start by saying that the staff and councillors at this facility are both professional and down to earth.They helped diagnose past and recent traumas that were hindering me in a proper recovery, that of which I had at one point and was truly interested in keeping ongoing in my life. The help and tools that I have received in the past 60 days will keep me present in my mind and aware of the recovery I truly deserve.I would recommend this facility to anyone struggling with any issues that they are willing to deal with in our troubling society. Thank you Sandstone, you've made my life and my mind manageable and pleasurable to be a part of once again.Edit: Once again, thank you for the last year in recovery, I couldn't have done it without your help and understanding, I'm looking forward to hearing from you to share my story!

This facility, specifically the people in this facility, have impacted my life in a way I never thought possible! The care and attention to detail was top notch from the moment I entered the doors to the minute I walked out. From the support staff, the nurses and doctors, my therapists and councillors, and incredibly talented chefs; I have never been treated with more grace and dignity in my life. I can say with all honesty that my life going forward will never be the same! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for taking my life into your care and helping me discover the person I was always meant to be! If you’re looking for change you will find it at Edgewood Sandstone! These people love with intention and truly care!! Thank you Sandstone Team, you are all my forever friends! ~ Kar

There's so much to say about this place, specifically the people there, who make it what it is. What these individuals were able to help me accomplish in the short 6 weeks I was there was absolutely incredible. They went way above and beyond what my expectations were when walking into Sandstone. I will forever be grateful for my experience there, and grateful for the people there. They changed my life in so many ways that I was never able to do on my own, And for that, there isn't enough words to say what that means to me.

I recently stayed at EHN Sandstone Calgary and despite not having anything to compare it to, I only have great things to say about this facility.The staff are incredible. Their professionalism, knowledge, and care for all the clients were very much felt. It was a very smooth transition for me adjusting to life in the house. I was certainly nervous and anxious at the beginning, but the staff and my peers helped me feel comfortable right from the beginning.Having support staff and nurses available 24 hours a day was very comforting.

I have so much respect and gratitude for this place. When I entered, I was broken and truly hopeless, but the director, support staff, councillors, nursing staff and everyone there showed me what true and genuine, kindness, compassion, and concern are. They gave me my life back and the tools to carry on. If you, or anyone you know is suffering from mental health/addiction issues, please seek out the services at Sandstone, they can, and will help you. The love in this place is immense. I am so thankful for each and every person there and the help they gave me.Brad

Hi This is Trent. My stay at Sandstone was November 2019. The counselling staff were very knowledgeable and highly trained. Support staff were there 24 hours a day to help with anything. On -site doctors and nurses were highly respectful and professional. Best of all, the chefs were incredible cooks and friendly! I would recommend this treatment facility as it felt like one big family giving support to each other. Lives are saved daily at Sandstone. Trent Reinke

The EHN Sandstone program and staff provided me with the guidance, counseling and tools to move into the next chapter of my life, sober and healthy. I dealt with many past haunting issues, and loss, in conjunction with the cognitive behavior therapy to become sober. The staff were warm, professional, accommodation was comfortable and clean, and the kitchen staff and food were five star. I highly recommend this program.
