Since 1967, Phoenix House has been helping people of all ages from all walks of life lead fulfilling, drug-free, lives. Phoenix House operates more than 30 residential and outpatient programs for adults and adolescents in New York City, upstate New York, and Long Island, treating some 2,500 individuals every day.
Phoenix House has grown to become the nation’s leading provider of alcohol and drug abuse treatment and prevention services operating over 150 programs in ten states. Currently, they care for a population of more than 7,000 through residential drug treatment for adults; residential Phoenix Academies combining long-term drug treatment and schooling for teens; outpatient care; after school; and day programs.
Among Phoenix House milestones was its role in creating the country’s first correctional treatment unit, a model now widely replicated in prisons throughout the country and abroad. Phoenix House was also an early provider of treatment as an alternative to prison. And, more than two decades ago, Phoenix House opened its first Phoenix Academy, a residential high school where teens can make up schooling lost to drugs and recapture opportunities for higher education and careers. Eleven Phoenix Academies now operate in seven states and were designated a “model program” by the U.S. Department of Justice in 2005.
