Genesis House Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Genesis House is a women's sober house in Washington, Pennsylvania, the seat of Washington County. It is operated by Resurrection Power, a faith-based recovery housing nonprofit founded in 2001, and is licensed as a recovery house by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs.

A Women's Sober House on Springfield Avenue

Genesis House sits within the city of Washington and serves women only. Resurrection Power runs it as one of two women's houses in the city, alongside a men's program of the same size, and residents move through a shared framework of mentoring and peer recovery support.

A Faith-Based Approach to Recovery Housing

Resurrection Power describes its work as restoring lives through faith-based mentoring, life skills training and twelve-step recovery support. That framing sets Genesis House apart from a purely secular sober house: residents can expect a spiritual dimension built into daily structure alongside the practical routines of recovery housing.

Washington, the County Seat

Washington is the seat of Washington County and sits at the junction of Interstates 70 and 79, about thirty miles south of Pittsburgh. Washington & Jefferson College, the county courthouse and a concentration of outpatient providers are all inside the city, which keeps court obligations, treatment appointments and community meetings within reach of Genesis House.

What DDAP Licensure Means at Genesis House

Licensure by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, granted under Act 59, means the house has met the state's health and safety standards for recovery housing and keeps that license current. It is a voluntary program, and an organization built around twenty-five years of continuous operation in Washington has kept it in place throughout.
