Sandstone changed my life!!! I was there for 49 days and those were the best days of my life. The food is the BEST every single meal. My councillor was the most knowledgeable honest helpful hardworking woman I have ever encountered. I don’t even have the words to describe how perfect Sandstone is. Every single person that works there cares so much for every single client. The medical staff are the most helpful caring and understanding bunch of people that ever existed. I do not have one complaint about my entire time there. I recommend Sandstone from the bottom of my heart. It has changed me for the better and I am forever grateful to everyone there.

It has been over 3 months since I finished a 6 week inpatient program at Sandstone. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the centre and staff. I detoxed there, which was an incredibly adverse experience of course, but the staff and program made it as comfortable as it can possibly be. The nurses are always available and there to attend to every health concern, the support staff meet your every need, the kitchen staff are amazing and it was the best I've ever been fed. Seriously, the entire experience was a gift and a blessing. Still today I am running strong and comfortable in my sobriety because of the tools I have picked up from the program at Sandstone. If you are scared or hesitant, do not worry. I arrived bawling my eyes out frightened of being away from my loved ones, pets, home, etc... but you become at home very quickly. Many of us even said it felt like we were at Summer Camp! We became a family. I am still friends with and see members of my cohort regularly. If you are offered this experience, do not turn it down.

I had a wonderful/respectful experience with all of the staff at Sandstone. They genuinely cared about my well-being and recovery. I would recommend this for anyone with substance abuse disorder.

My son was admitted this Fall holding on a string. Where our medical system failed him, Sandstone saved his life. He came in depressed and hopeless battling mental health illness and a number of addictions. After 28 days, he came out a new person. We are celebrating 40 days sobriety with him this weekend!

I want to say going to Sandstone was a gift. They helped me get through alot of past trauma that no one was able to help me through before and reminded me of my self worth. Huge thanks to all of the Sandstone staff! From the councilors, support staff, nurses, doctors and the amazing chefs. Can't wait to come visit

I am eternally grateful for Sandstone and their staff. Admittedly, I was a ‘tough nut to crack’ but over time, I learned that I either had to choose life or choose death. I am happy that I chose the former. I was admitted into Sandstone on March 29th 2022 and discharged on July 12th 2022, I am appreciative of every second of my treatment. As a Veteran, who lived with untreated PTSD, depression, military sexual trauma and Alcohol Addiction for close to 30 years, this truly was a place of kindness, love, respect and healing. For the first time in my life, I felt heard, understood and cared for. There was no judgement-ever, and the team always met me where I was at. My counsellors were empathetic, but also gave the ‘tough love’ when needed. The support staff were patient and understanding and the medical team were knowledgeable, professional and very helpful in all areas of care. The food was delicious, nutritious, well presented and the culinary team were always available for a quick chat and a laugh. (I miss you, Jose). I have been clean and sober for 18 months now, Sandstone provided a safe environment for me to start my healing journey into the community, and gave me the foundation and empowerment to continue treatment at our veterans clinic here in the city. My life today is beyond anything I could have imagined. I’ve reconnected with my beautiful daughter , who tells me daily how proud she is if me, I have a wonderful relationship with my longtime common law husband and am building a strong and secure recovery friendship circle. None of this would have been possible without Sandstone. Last, but not least, I want to extend a sincere thank you to the facility manager, Angela, who works tirelessly and consistently to ensure a safe environment for all patients. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for giving me my life back. Cynthia (Cyndi) Greene

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

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.

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!

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 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.

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

I did the 28 day inpatient treatment at sandstone. It was amazing. The staff, councillors, and the support staff were all wonderful. I learned so much and felt confident that with the knowledge and tools I was given to continue on my road to recovery. I would recommend this program to anyone who is struggling with addiction.

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.
