About
Sanford House John Street serves as a residential facility for adult males seeking recovery. The center offers various programs, including outpatient options, virtual sessions, residential treatment, an eating disorder program, and family involvement initiatives. Recognizing that men and women navigate addiction recovery differently, Sanford House John Street features gender-specific environments. Their treatment approaches are founded on evidence-based practices and cutting-edge therapeutic methods. A skilled team of master’s level therapists provides personalized therapeutic interventions tailored to individual client needs. Services encompass group and individual therapy, medical care, and medication oversight. Their offerings include scientifically supported therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), family therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), trauma-informed therapy, and art therapy. Recently, a specialized program for LGBTQ+ individuals has been introduced, and while they primarily focus on gender-specific care, they also welcome clients who identify as gender nonconforming. They accept most major insurance plans, though Medicaid is not included. Sanford House John Street holds accreditation from CARF.
Situated in the picturesque Grand Rapids area, Sanford House John Street is conveniently located near medical facilities, universities, and the city center. This prime location encourages residents to find harmony between their recovery journey and everyday life. The interior design reflects the preferences of males in recovery, featuring impressive stone walls and a river rock foundation. Accommodations typically house two or three residents per room, with private rooms available upon special request; however, shared rooms are promoted to foster camaraderie among housemates. The home is designed to cultivate a sense of community, with meals served family-style at a large, handcrafted wooden table. The menu is thoughtfully crafted by the center's chef, utilizing fresh, locally sourced ingredients to support a wholesome and balanced lifestyle.
