Genesis House provides treatment in a family-like setting for the complicated client with multidimensional problems. Clients typically have multiple deficits, which may include substance-related disorders, criminal activity, psychological problems, impaired functioning, and anti-social value systems. Our clients need structure, empowerment, coping skills, interpersonal support building, and boundaries.

We view addictive behavior as a complex maladaptive, self-destructive habit. We focus on changing self-destructive behaviors in order to achieve a positive, balanced, healthy lifestyle. Our treatment program is designed to address critical, unresolved issues that are likely to lead clients to chronic relapse. We teach clients to recognize these behavioral patterns and teach them new coping skills.

Using multiple techniques, processes, and strategies we teach our clients coping skills that will empower them to move forward in their lives. Parents are taught positive parenting skills to improve interactions with their children and develop a family where all can grow As their skills increase the degree of structure is decreased.

Genesis House firmly believes family members need to be actively involved in the treatment process.

We are dedicated to providing personalized, effective treatment of the highest quality for alcoholism and other drug addictions in a caring and compassionate environment. Privacy and dignity are maintained with the utmost respect. Our primary focus is to help each resident replace fear and hopelessness with recovery skills that will help them obtain a healthy, joyous, and productive way of living.

Our recovery program is based on a structured 12-step modality coupled with experiential therapy. We believe that a combination of clinical and experiential therapy provides an effective basis for self-discovery, healing and recovery.

We are here because there is no refuge, finally from ourselves. Until a person confronts himself through the eyes and hearts of others, he is running. Until he suffers them to share his secrets, he has no safety from them. Afraid to be known, he cannot know himself nor any other, he will be alone. Where else but on our common ground can we find such a mirror? Here together a person can at last appear clearly to himself. Not as the giant of his dreams, nor the dwarf of his fears, but as a man, part of a whole with his share in its purpose. On this ground we can each take root and grow. Not alone any more as in death, but alive to ourselves and to others.
