For more than a half century, Guest House has provided solutions for alcohol and substance addiction, and co-occurring disorders including eating disorders, hoarding and gambling to nearly 8,000 clergy and religious.

More than 90% of our alumni returned to active ministry and mission in successful, long term recovery.
Treatment is provided in both clinical and spiritual settings in secure, private facilities in Rochester, Minnesota (Men) and Lake Orion, Michigan (Women). Services include addiction evaluation and intervention upon request.
Guest House is staffed by dedicated, licensed, certified, on-site clinical and spiritual professionals.We augment residential treatment with strong aftercare support programs and educational workshops. Successful long-term abstinence rates remain at the top of the recovery industry.
