About Sanford House John Street

Sanford House John Street is a residential home for adult men. They have an outpatient program, virtual program, residential program, eating disorder program, and family program. Sanford House at John Street believes men and women develop, experience, and recover from addiction differently, and this is why they have gender-specific locations. They base their programs on evidence and leading-edge therapeutic interventions. Their team is highly trained master’s level therapists who provide therapeutic modalities that are tailored to the clients needs. Treatments include group therapy, individual therapy, medical services, and medication management. At Sanford House John Street, they use evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavior therapies (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), family therapy, mindfulness-based (MBCT), trauma focused therapy, and art therapy. Recently, they have incorporated a LGBTQ+ addiction treatment program, and even though they identify as a gender-specific treatment facility, they also treat individuals who are gender nonconforming. They accept most major insurances but do not work with Medicaid. Sandford House John Street is accredited by CARF.

How do I start treatment at Sanford House John Street?

Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
