A Faith-Based 12-Step Program
We provide individualized services specifically designed to meet our residents wherever they may be in their relationship with drugs and/or alcohol. Our facility and credentialed staff are equipped to treat alcohol, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, inhalant, and prescription abuse and dependence.
Our Approach to Treatment
Our own experiences and those of others who have achieved permanent sobriety have proven that successful recovery requires four key elements. We have combined these elements into the foundation of our program at Genesis Recovery: a relationship with a power greater than ourselves, participation in a 12-step recovery program, clinical treatment and a strong community of others committed to long-term sobriety. We call this foundation our Spiritually Therapeutic Treatment Experience.
Our Team
Genesis Recovery is blessed with a treatment team comprised of licensed and credentialed staff, all Christian, some in recovery, and each of whom bring a wealth of personal and professional experience to our residents and recovery community in San Diego.
