Sanford Behavioral Health

“42 years of being a hard alcoholic. I'm one year in my sobriety! Never will I return to drinking! Sanford Behavioral Health literally saved my life! It wasn't until my mind was clear that I truly understood how much they helped me. The staff was extremely helpful. They treat you like a person, not a number. They gave me all the tools to succeed. I got my life back because of Sanford. I will be forever grateful 🙏”

“Sanford Behavioral Health changed my life and genuinely they are the best residential program ive ever been in. I have been to Timberline Knolls (traumatizing!) And many psych wards and always had an awful experience and although my time from March-August 2025 had its ups and downs I would say overall I came out a better person and absolutely changed for the better from it. My therapist there, Kyle Reck, changed my life, and I cant thank him enough. When I needed a program to take me seriously even though I was not your stereotypical anorexia - Sanford was there. They believe in HAES (health at every size) and treat anorexia/bulimia but also ARFID which is something many treatment centers won't. In therapy there they will address trauma and other co-occurring mental illnesses alongside the ED. Just so much good and so much that I needed! I can genuinely say I am doing so much better today. Things aren't perfect and maybe never will be. Maybe thats unrealistic to expect of myself. But I am in the best place I have ever been in my whole life. ❤️ genuinely I give thanks to Sanford for a big piece of this journey. Not only the staff, but my fellow clients there have changed my life and they encouraged us to stay in contact, so I have also made lifelong friends. 🫶✨️ Thank you staff, thank you Sanford, for all you've done for me. I am changed for the better because of you all.”

“I am thankful that Sanford treatment opened in Marne, MI. They helped someone I love the most of all people in this world. My dear one has been sober and connected with the world again. When I didn't know my true loved one anymore, only the addicted them, Sanford helped when they asked and were ready. It will always be one of the saddest and scariest times spent in ER after urgent care after E.R. , watching them sick and fading away. Sanford helped my dear one learn to find themself again as a sober person. I could not be more thankful for their help of my precious one. And the safety net and care they provided during the most difficult heart-breaking times. Thank you to every person there. You bring hope and healing 🙏. You are a refuge from the storm of addiction and despair.”

“I came to Sanford in such a dark space without much hope. Sanford and the amazing staff there helped pull me out of the dark space I was in and walked beside me as I found myself and learned how to walk in recovery. If it were not for Sanford, I would not be where I am at today. The staff were absolutely amazing, kind, loving, educated, and genuinely committed to helped people succeed. I would recommend this place above all other mental health facilities in a heartbeat. I left Sanford ready to continue walking in freedom with the tools and supports I need. Thank you to all of the staff and employees (yes, even the cleaning staff were kind and loving) for staying by my side and showing me the hope and love I needed!”
