About Sanford West Behavioral Health Campus
Sanford West Behavioral Health Campus is a CARF-accredited residential facility located at 15146 16th Avenue in Marne, Michigan, roughly 12 minutes outside of downtown Grand Rapids. Operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the campus delivers a full continuum of behavioral health and addiction treatment services — from medically supervised detox through long-term aftercare — to adults across the Grand Rapids area and Ottawa County. The facility addresses a wide range of substance use disorders including alcohol addiction, fentanyl addiction, heroin addiction, cocaine addiction, and polysubstance abuse, as well as co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, and eating disorders.
The care continuum at Sanford West begins with medical detox, giving patients around-the-clock clinical support during the withdrawal process. Following detox, patients can step into residential treatment for immersive, structured programming, or transition to an outpatient program or Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) as their clinical needs evolve. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is available within this continuum, providing FDA-recognized pharmacological support alongside behavioral therapies. The campus also maintains a sober living program, extending supervised support beyond the primary treatment episode.
Clinically, the facility incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, nutrition counseling, and a 12-step approach. Co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis presentations are treated directly on campus rather than referred out, which matters for patients whose mental health conditions — including eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, ARFID, OSFED, and orthorexia — intersect with substance use. An alumni and family program provides structured long-term support after formal treatment ends.
Sanford West serves a notably broad range of populations under one roof, including veterans, first responders, young adults ages 18 to 25, seniors and older adults, and court-ordered individuals. TRICARE is accepted alongside private insurance and self-pay, making the program accessible to military-connected patients and their families. For anyone in the Grand Rapids region weighing same-day admission to a medical detox program with a clear step-down path, Sanford West’s 24/7 operations and full continuum offer a clinically structured option without requiring transfer between facilities.
