Mission Statement

Description
The ultimate impact Phoenix seeks is to help individuals not only achieve sobriety, but to thrive in recovery. The Phoenix Model is unique because of its non-clinical approach that uses the power of human connection and positive coping mechanisms. Those include activities to help people heal from the underlying causes of addiction.
Phoenix volunteers facilitate a positive and supportive experience by allowing team members to shed the defense mechanisms that have historically kept them isolated. By bringing people together, Phoenix creates a community where people can heal, connect, and practice effective social interaction.
