Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Virginia Beach outpatient opened in 2026, expanding access across Hampton Roads.
- Sandstone expanded to ages 18-35 in January 2026, widening addressable demand.
- Headcount reached about 480 in March 2026, showing continued hiring despite leadership turnover.
What critics are saying
- Brad Owens and Mike Frisbie exited in March 2026, signaling board-level instability.
- Revenue depends on insurance reimbursement; Virginia Beach pricing still lists $18,000-$24,000 monthly.
- Any licensing, abuse, or fair-housing case at residential sites can destroy referral trust.
What makes Sandstone Care unique

- Its continuum spans detox, residential, PHP, IOP, telehealth, and family therapy.
- Vistria-backed platform gives capital and operating discipline versus local treatment operators.
