About the Program

Genesis II is a Washington State Certified Alcohol/Drug Treatment program licensed to provide various treatment services for residents of Whatcom County.  Our classes provide information on alcohol, drug addiction, how it affects one's family and life, and how to recover from these additions.

We provide a staff of caring individuals who are certified by the State of Washington to provide chemical dependency counseling.  We realize the importance of developing a support system and utilizing the twelve steps of AA/NA (Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous) to emphasize a strong spirituality.  For more information about our staff, programs available, or times of our classes, please contact us at 360.966.7704.  

The services Genesis II provide are as follows:

Genesis II Transition House

We believe that people experience the greatest opportunity for recovery when they live in a safe, comfortable, and appropriate environment.  Genesis II Transition House was constructed with this in mind.  We seek to help members of our own tribe as well as our sisters and brothers who belong to other tribes.

Our goal is to blend traditional Indian healing methodology with current medical treatment protocols.  We recognize the importance of spirituality and the difference it can make not only in the recovery process, but in living a full and enriching life.

Why Transitional Housing?

Many of us have experienced difficult times in our lives. Some may have been in a residential treatment setting, or even incarcerated.  We struggled to maintain our balance in life, unsure of our footing.  Our problems seemed overwhelming, at times insurmountable. What we really needed was a little time to "get it together."  Time to spend learning about ourselves.  Time to spend practicing new coping skills.  Time to spend healing our minds and our bodies.  Time to learn hope.  A safe place where change can occur.
