Phoenix House Academy

Phoenix House Academy (formerly known as Phoenix Academy) is a therapeutic community (TC) model enhanced to meet the developmental needs of adolescents ages 13-17 with substance abuse and other co-occurring mental health and behavioral disorders. The Phoenix House Academy model integrates residential treatment with an on-site public junior high and high school (grades 8-12). Some Phoenix House Academy programs also include trade or technical training sponsored by local community colleges. The community campus receives most of its referrals from juvenile probation, family, and self-referrals, with the remaining youth coming from social service agencies (e.g., departments of mental health, children and family services), health care providers, and educational institutions. Professional program staff include psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and counselors, many of whom are in recovery themselves.
