Demystifying Admissions to Treatment
Nothing to fear – the beautiful entrance hall – Sanford House at Cherry Street for Women
At Sanford Behavioral Health, we understand that making the call to a treatment center can be a daunting process, for many reasons. Making the decision to seek help for a substance use disorder (SUD), eating disorder or mental health condition – or to find help for a loved one, is a brave first step. We are here to assist you along the way. Our goal is to demystify admissions to treatment, and to make the process as simple as possible.
We treat each individual personally. Admissions specialists are available to answer questions or just talk, if that’s all you want to do. We can discuss your treatment options, both inpatient and outpatient, as well as insurance issues. And we often start a conversation with the words, “Tell me what’s going on.” It gets the dialogue started.

What to Expect When you Call Admissions:
We’ll give you information about our programs and answer any questions you might have. You will be speaking to one of our admissions specialists (not an impersonal call center). Sanford provides residential, outpatient, and virtual/telehealth programs. Sanford programs function from a philosophy of “real life recovery”. Our intention is to provide flexible options and support each person’s professional, family, social, recreational, and spiritual life.
We are located in the greater Grand Rapids, Michigan area with many of our facilities in downtown Grand Rapids. We are here to help you arrive safely from wherever you hail. And we would be happy to schedule a tour of an appropriate Sanford facility, so you can get acquainted with our programs in person.
Our residential facilities are gender-responsive, lovingly restored historic homes. Sanford Outpatient Center may also be an option for those who are able to attend outpatient programs while living at home. The Sanford Outpatient Center schedule is geared toward those who are attending school, have work commitments or childcare concerns. And Sanford’s telehealth programs provide the same evidence-based practice models, from the safety and convenience of home.

We will verify your insurance benefits in order to provide you with specific out-of-pocket costs, prior to your admission. This way, there are no surprise bills. We work with most insurance providers, both in-network and out-of-network. This includes Aetna, ASR, Beacon, BCBS, BCN, CIGNA, Cofinity, HAP, First Health, Humana, Magellan, McLaren, Molina, Physicians Health Plan, and United Health Care.
Finally, we will schedule your admission and if detox is your first step, we will coordinate. We will also provide you with a packing list, so you know what to bring to treatment.
Welcome to Sanford Behavioral Health!
