An Introduction to Us
About Sanford Behavioral Health
Rae and David Green established Sanford Addiction Treatment Centers in 2015 with a ten-bed women's facility in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Their mission was to elevate the effectiveness and availability of treatment for individuals diagnosed with substance use disorders (SUDs).
Today, Sanford Behavioral Health is licensed and accredited as a substance use disorder, eating disorder, and mental health treatment facility that serves Greater Grand Rapids, all of Michigan, and beyond. Our expert team of psychiatrist-led medical, clinical, and support personnel offer medication-assisted and evidence-based treatments to our residential, outpatient, and telehealth patients.
Opening soon, J.O.H.N. (Just One Hero Needed) offers programming exclusively for Veterans and First Responders. Our staff on all levels have lived experience or strong personal ties to the military or First Responders communities. JOHN is located in a restored historic home designed to provide trauma-informed, mission-aligned care in a secure and respectful environment. Our facility is scheduled to begin accepting clients in 2025 and will accommodate 18 adults (18+).
Midwestern Values
Since we opened our doors more than ten years ago, the demand for high-quality substance use, eating disorders, and mental health treatments in Michigan has only increased. As part of our efforts to provide a better service to the community, we have expanded our campus and treatment options. Community matters to us, and our location in the Midwest is central to our core values and shapes how we approach treatment.
We instill a strong work ethic that serves when the "going gets tough." Our expertise, authority, and trustworthiness are born from our deep-rooted work ethic, moral code, and desire to help others. After all, modest integrity and lending hands are hallmarks of both midwestern values and successful recovery.
Our Certifications
View Our Locations
We utilize a "continuum of care," which means providing support at every level of recovery, from intensive inpatient treatment to virtual therapy, all at Sanford West Behavioral Health Campus in Marne, Michigan (12 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids). Our mental health, addiction, and eating disorder programs are all entry points to the recovery continuum. When individuals are comfortable within the Sanford Behavioral Health umbrella, it makes for a smooth transition from one level of treatment to the next. JOHN (Just One Hero Needed) is located in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Need Resources?
At Sanford Behavioral Health, we value our collaborations and partnerships. Our collaboration between medical and mental health organizations decreases cost and increases ease and personalization for our clients who need medical care while in treatment at Sanford. We also partner with trusted organizations that offer additional pieces to the mental health treatment puzzle. In so doing, we create a more complete continuum of care than any one treatment center can provide. It's smart because no organization can do everything, especially when it comes to specialized services. Click for our list of books, podcasts, videos, and other recovery resources.
Excursions Magazine
Excursions is a free online resource for individuals and their families at every stage of recovery. We bring you up-to-date articles on health and fitness; scientific breakthroughs; reader's questions, (and Founder, Rae Green's advice); clinical insights from our counselors; editor's picks, photos; staff and collaborator interviews, videos and more. Those of us who have experienced active addiction, know that compromises family, relationships, career, hobbies, and physical activity. Recovery gives us back our uniqueness, the limitless options and the fresh look at old interests. Excursions is designed to broaden your horizons, widen your paths and provide an unbroken vista of new possibilities in recovery.
