Sanford House at John Street is a residential addiction treatment facility for adult men. The male gendered counterpart to Cherry Street for Women, Sanford House at John Street captures the town and country atmosphere that is signature to Sanford Behavioral Health. Following the success of the women's facility. Founders Rae and David Green, sought to create a separate space designed specifically for men. A place of healing, fostering camaraderie and trust in an environment of safety, privacy, and comfort.

When we walked into the house at John Street, rundown as it was, with the carved wood and fireplaces with hunting tiles, it just looked like a man's house. We knew it was the right place immediately. And after a year of renovations, it is exactly as we imagined - tailored to meet the needs of men in recovery.
