Sanford House at Cherry Street

They are set up for 3 levels: inpatient residential, telemedicine and detox. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Grand Rapids, 3 offer a bed.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Coming off opioids without medical supervision can be dangerous, which is why it matters that this is one of 1 places near Grand Rapids that do it.

They treat both, and the rest of what they are set up for is adult women, court referrals, lgbtq, military families, pain management, past domestic violence, past sexual abuse, past trauma and veterans.

Their programs are for adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The group you sit in is usually built around the age band, which in Grand Rapids can mean one group rather than several.

Yes, they offer a veterans program, one of 10 named programs at this address.

Prescriptions are usually kept going, and changing one is a decision for a prescriber rather than a policy. Any medication you were prescribed by someone else is still their decision until a prescriber at the program takes it over. Ask who to speak to if something needs changing mid program.

The records are protected, and the protection is specific to addiction treatment rather than general. The strength of the rule exists because people avoided treatment when they could not rely on it. You can ask all of this without committing to anything.

Pack for about a week, keep the documents where you can hand them over at the door, and expect the bag to be searched. Vitamins and anything over the counter are treated as medication and get checked the same way. Ask what the first twenty four hours look like, because that is what you are packing for.
