Guest HouseIn almost everyone's life, there is someone we know who is experiencing the destructive effects of an active addiction. It could be an addiction to alcohol, prescription medications, or even food and gambling. Fortunately, there is always help--from family and close personal friends, from readily available treatment centers like hospitals and other facilities that deal with addiction diseases for the general public....
But when a Catholic priest, deacon, brother or sister is suffering from an addiction, who can they turn to? Where can they go for help? Their special calling--their vocation--makes them unique and in need of a special place that respects and nurtures their religious calling.
That special place is 
Our simple philosophy: Save the individual! Save the vocation!
Opened in Michigan in 1956, Guest House is a nonprofit, charitable organization dedicated to the treatment of Catholic priests, deacons, brothers, seminarians and (since 1994) women religious with alcoholism, other chemical dependencies and related problems.
Guest House operates two licensed and CARF-accredited treatment centers, one at Rochester, Minnesota for priests and male religious and the other in Lake Orion, Michigan for women religious. CARF is the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Facilities.
More than 7,300 priests and men & women religious have been cared for! They have come from more than 165 dioceses, 120 religious communities and 48 countries worldwide. The vast majority have returned to their ministries renewed in health, purpose and spirituality. We offer a proven treatment program specially designed to help priests, deacons, sisters, brothers and seminarians recover from alcoholism and other addictions. Guest House will admit any of these men or women who are experiencing difficulties and related issues. Treatment will not be denied because of inability to pay because of the donor-supported patient care programs of this place of hope and healing!
Guest House is proud of its history of services and of its commitment to the priesthood, religious life, and to the Catholic Church.
