New Earth Recovery - Walter St. House Women's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

New Earth Recovery - Walter St. House is a women's sober living home in Mount Vernon, Washington, in Skagit County, certified at Level 1 by the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences. It is operated by New Earth Recovery, which runs eight homes across the city.

A Women's Sober House on Walter Street

The house takes its name from Walter Street in Mount Vernon, and New Earth Recovery has not published a house number for the address. Keeping the household single-gender means one set of rules and one meeting schedule covers everyone living there.

What WAQRR Level 1 Certification Establishes

Level 1 is the lighter end of the two tiers the Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences certifies, describing self-run peer housing without a live-in manager. Even at that lighter tier, certification still commits the house to a published code of ethics, disclosed fees and rules before move-in, and a complaint process outside the house.

The Genesis Process for Women

Walter Street House runs New Earth Recovery's Genesis Process, which treats the trauma behind addictive behavior as the thing that has to be addressed for recovery to hold. Women on medication-assisted treatment are supported here.
