Since 1992, Genesis House has been run by the same family. Its grounds occupy a private piece of land in Palm Beach County, and the atmosphere is intimate and calm rather than sprawling and hospital-like. Someone starting treatment can first go through detox, then transition to residential care, and continue with aftercare once that residential period is over. The Joint Commission accredits the center, a detail you can verify yourself by phone.
Care planning here begins with the understanding that substance use often has underlying causes, such as mental health needs alongside substance use. A psychiatrist is part of the clinical team, and residents attend both group and individual therapy. The method draws on trauma work grounded in evidence and on Twelve Step resources; the center describes an organized mix of clinical and holistic services, not one fixed path for all.
Genesis House South Lake Worth
Genesis House lists three care options: residential rehab, detox, and substance use alongside mental health needs. A usual stay lasts 90 days. Detox is medically supported, and medication may be given during and after that stage to ease discomfort. Residents then enter the residential program, where the schedule blends individual counseling, group therapy, and psychoeducation with Twelve Step facilitation and trauma-focused therapy. Yoga, massage therapy, and spiritual care are among the holistic additions.
The center also keeps an aftercare side running past discharge. That covers aftercare group therapy, online follow-up sessions, counseling for families after treatment, and alumni events, reunions, and get-togethers. Professional re-entry support is listed too, which matters for people heading back to work. If you are weighing whether a 90-day residential stay fits your situation, then a call to our helpline can help you compare this level of care with outpatient options across Florida.

Paying at Genesis House
For Genesis House, cash pay rates are the payment option shown. Insurance details are not published, so coverage has to be verified by phone before anyone commits. Our helpline can help you start that check at no cost to you, and the adviser who answers does not require your name or any decision about treatment. If you carry a plan, then ask which levels of care it covers here, because detox, residential, and aftercare may be handled differently.

Common questions
How long do people usually stay at Genesis House South Lake Worth?
The center specifies a typical program duration of 90 days. Detox comes first for people who need it, then residential rehab, then aftercare. A 90-day stay is a common residential span for substance use treatment, but the right length depends on your situation and on what your insurance will cover. Ask the center directly how they set discharge timing.
Does Genesis House accept Medicaid or insurance?
The listing shows cash pay rates only, which means insurance and Medicaid coverage are not confirmed in it. What Florida's Medicaid program and private plans cover for residential and detox care differs from one plan to another. Call the center to confirm benefits, and while you have them on the phone ask about Joint Commission accreditation, because it influences how certain plans view a program.
How many beds does Genesis House have?
With 16–30 beds, the campus remains relatively small for a Florida rehab. Fewer beds often translate to more personal attention in group and individual sessions, but current availability is something to verify by phone. Private or shared air-conditioned rooms are available, along with a regular schedule of therapy, meetings, and activities.
What therapies are offered at this South Lake Worth rehab?
Among the therapy choices are individual counseling, group therapy, psychoeducation, trauma-focused therapy, Twelve Step facilitation, spiritual care, yoga, and massage therapy. The levels of care listed are detox, residential rehab, and mental health needs that appear alongside substance use. If medication support for opioid use matters to you, ask whether the center offers it, since not all residential programs do.
