The Foundation Men's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

The Foundation is a men's sober living home in Mount Vernon, Washington, in Skagit County. It sits on North 15th Street and is operated by New Earth Recovery, a faith-based housing provider that runs eight recovery residences throughout Mount Vernon. The Foundation is one of the organization's entry-level homes, built for men who are new to structured recovery housing.

A Men's Sober House on North 15th Street

North 15th Street runs through a residential section of Mount Vernon within easy reach of downtown, so the men living at The Foundation can get to a meeting, a job or an appointment without depending on a car. New Earth Recovery keeps its entry-level homes single-gender, which lets house meetings, chores and accountability run for one population under one set of expectations.

What New Earth Recovery's Program Establishes

New Earth Recovery builds its houses around the Genesis Process, a curriculum aimed at the root causes behind addictive behavior, not the behavior alone. The organization describes recovery as something that does not hold unless the original issues that drove it get addressed, and The Foundation runs that model as a nine-month entry-level house. Residents move through the early stage of the program here before stepping into the operator's longer-term second-step homes.

Support for Medication-Assisted Recovery

New Earth Recovery supports residents on medication-assisted treatment, which matters for men who would otherwise have to choose between housing and a prescribed medication. The organization also works with Compass Mental Health and other regional providers, so clinical care continues alongside the housing structure.

Recovery Housing in Skagit County

Mount Vernon is the seat of Skagit County and the largest city between Seattle and the Canadian border, which gives a Mount Vernon sober house access to court services, treatment providers and Skagit Valley College within a short drive. New Earth Recovery takes referrals from Skagit County Drug Court and Catholic Community Services, so a number of residents arrive already connected to a case manager.
