Sanford House John Street

Sanford House John Street is a residential home for adult men. They have an outpatient program, virtual program, residential program, eating disorder program, and family program. Sanford House at John Street believes men and women develop, experience, and recover from addiction differently, and this is why they have gender-specific locations. They base their programs on evidence and leading-edge therapeutic interventions. Their team is highly trained master’s level therapists who provide therapeutic modalities that are tailored to the clients needs. Treatments include group therapy, individual therapy, medical services, and medication management. At Sanford House John Street, they use evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavior therapies (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), family therapy, mindfulness-based (MBCT), trauma focused therapy, and art therapy. Recently, they have incorporated a LGBTQ+ addiction treatment program, and even though they identify as a gender-specific treatment facility, they also treat individuals who are gender nonconforming. They accept most major insurances but do not work with Medicaid. Sandford House John Street is accredited by CARF.Sanford House John Street is located in beautiful Grand Rapids.
