Sanford House At John Street
At Sanford, our mission is to provide effective and accessible addiction and related mental health treatment. We believe that every individual in our care deserves to find the place from which they draw strength. Because our proven drug and alcohol addiction treatment, comprehensive as it may be, is just the beginning of a life in recovery.

We want to inspire you to find your inner grit. To rekindle your interests and engage your passion. Recovery is a lifelong journey and our goal is to prepare you for the long haul. So, while under the Sanford umbrella, you will work hard and dig deep. And you will find the resourcefulness, strength and compassion that defines your idea of success.
Services
David Green enjoys building things - businesses and places. Over the years he has been involved in a variety of enterprises, including real estate, automotive, sports and marketing. In addition to practicing law, he directed the development of the Cape Eleuthera Resort in The Bahamas and serves as Chairman and Founding Director of The Island.
We invite you to take a moment and imagine a place where addiction treatment becomes inspirational. A place where you are intimately connected to a community. Where you feel fully present and where the experience is rigorous and worth achieving. This place challenges you to dive deep, question preconceived notions, and explore yourself and the world around you, guided by proven clinical techniques.
Women and men develop, experience, and recover from addiction differently. Because of this, we have established separate residential facilities at Cherry Street for Women and John Street for Men. We also provide specialty programs in our Outpatient Center which may designate separate genders. All the clinical experience and modern gender research points to one thing.
The men and women of Sanford House are encouraged to rediscover their passions and inner strength. And because we believe you cannot grow in isolation, our residents build community inside and outside of the therapy room. In addition to our residential treatment centers on Cherry Street and John Street, we bring our clients into the activity of surrounding parks, museums, and local downtown.
Sanford Outpatient Center is located on the first floor of the landmark, Grand Rapids Masonic Temple. We offer mental health, eating disorder, and substance use disorder treatment to adults 18 or older. We offer flexible, innovative, individualized recovery programs that work with your real life. Outpatient treatment allows for the continuation of everyday activities while integrating effective strategies to manage recovery day-to-day.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality
I had the opportunity to attend the Grand Opening of this facility a few years ago. I was so pleased to see that Grand Rapids is offering a top notch recovery center, providing professional treatment. I was impressed with the facility itself, spacious rooms, private and for group work. Beautiful location in the heart of the city.

Sanford House is the best of the best at what they do! The location is stunning, and within lies a treasure trove of skills and support for individuals looking to recover from addictions. Every individual I've encountered at Sanford House is singularly focused on helping patients to be their healthiest, both mentally and physically. It's so comforting to be able to refer patients here and to know that they will have the opportunity to make incredible changes in their lives as a result.
