JJ, a scholarship recipient from 2013 shared with
Giving Back Magazine, “I was lost, lonely, broken and
afraid. My addiction led me to give away everything
worth value in my life including my career, possessions,
family, friends, dignity and freedom. Then Genesis
gave me an opportunity to pick up the pieces of my
life through their scholarship program. They loved
me in a way I didn’t think I deserved and taught me
a new way of living that helped to save my life. Today
I’m a productive member of society with almost 5
years clean. I’ve got my family back, a career, and
friends who have become family. My experience with
Genesis gave me new purpose in life. Today, I help
others recover from the disease of addiction. I am truly,
eternally grateful.”
the highest quality of care and transitional living after treatment. For over five
years, this recognized, evidence-based program has been producing miracles
within San Diego and across the United States.
To date, Genesis Recovery has served over 600 men and maintains a success
rate triple the national average. Many of these men have gone on to become
productive members of society and have reunited with their families and
communities. Since its inception, over 100 individuals have been awarded a
scholarship for treatment through the “Bless A Life” Scholarship Program which
offers treatment to un-insured, low/no income individuals desperately seeking a
new way of life, but without financial resources. “Our goal is to be able to treat
anyone ready to change their lives regardless of their financial situation. When a
person is ready for change, we must be ready to act!”
Every man that has ever walked through the doors of
Genesis Recovery has been shown the grace, love and
forgiveness of Jesus Christ in a unique and effective
way. With approximately 200 deaths every day from
an opioid overdose, the need for impact on the war
against addiction has never been greater. The fruit from
one mans transformed life becomes endless when in
recovery. It is up to us to give these men an opportunity
to grow into who they were created to be. By blessing
one life at a time, Genesis Recovery will continue
to make a difference within the lives, families and
communities affected by the disease of addiction.
“We are truly humbled to be a part of Gods plan
to restore the lives of men He loves so much.” For
