Sanford House at Cherry Street

Sanford House at Cherry Street in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is an exclusive residential treatment facility designed specifically for women. It addresses drug and alcohol addictions alongside co-occurring mental health disorders, offering a continuum of care that includes residential, outpatient (OP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and Day Treatment (PHP) programs. The facility is founded on the belief that men and women experience and recover from addiction differently, leading to their gender-specific approach, which also welcomes and supports LGBTQ+ individuals.

Their therapeutic framework incorporates a wide array of evidence-based therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), family therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), trauma-focused therapy, and art therapy. Individual and group therapy, medical services, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), and psychoeducation are integral to their treatment plans. Beyond clinical care, the program emphasizes holistic well-being through healthy nutrition, exercise routines, spiritual growth, creative expression, and re-engagement excursions.

Set in a beautifully restored home within a quiet Grand Rapids neighborhood, Cherry Street accommodates up to 10 residents in semi-private rooms with private baths. The elegant environment features fireplaces, a library, sitting room, formal dining room, and a full-size kitchen, creating a serene atmosphere. On-site staff offices ensure constant support, while a carriage house provides a dedicated space for group therapy sessions, fostering a close-knit and supportive community. Sanford House at Cherry Street is CARF-accredited and accepts most major insurances.
