Breaks and free time can be enjoyed in the outdoor common area featuring picnic tables and lounge chairs. WhiteSands Treatment Center was founded in with the overarching philosophy that it was time to raise industry standards with respect to the quality of treatment, comfortability of patients, and increased rates of long-term sobriety.
We recognized that national relapse rates were abysmal and treatment protocols have remained stagnant for many years. Our founders, CEO Garry Jonas and COO Joseph Ducey had a vision to create a treatment program that stood well above its competitors and that treated patients as individuals while also providing many of the comforts of their home environments.
WhiteSands hired accomplished Clinical Director, Dr. Lyndsay Henry, as the centerpiece for a strong clinical team. Henry accepted the position with the condition that ownership allow the clinical and medical teams to operate unrestrained regardless of expense to create the most effective treatment program. Henry, Mr. Jonas, and Mr.
Ducey carefully selected a specialized management team and began analyzing what innovations could be developed to raise the bar within their treatment facility. At WhiteSands, we begin to help patients address the underlying issues from the very first day they start their journey with us. Within the first week of treatment, each patient meets with our medical director, clinical director, psychiatrist, and individual therapist multiple times.
This includes working with each patient to help them establish goals for individual therapy, selecting therapy group options, and their individualized need for medical treatment. This requires WhiteSands to have a larger number of qualified clinical staff as part of its treatment team. At WhiteSands, we believe in true individualized treatment and implement this in a variety of areas.
