Students at Phoenix House Academy of San Diego publish their own paper, “Phoenix House Tribune” as one of the extracurricular activities that enrich the evidence-based therapeutic services on a beautiful residential campus, among hills and canyons of San Diego County. The team of young journalists is doing a great job of describing the issues that concern the entire community of 40 teenagers who attend counseling sessions and classes, and participate in other activities. They learn to cope with their substance abuse, mental health issues and underlying problems that have had a negative impact on their lives. They learn to communicate, and pick up useful writing and design skills in the process.
Phoenix House California
Since 1979, Phoenix House of California has served thousands of men, women, and adolescents each year. We help them overcome the problems associated with drug and alcohol abuse and lead healthy, productive, and rewarding lives. We are committed to protecting and supporting individuals, families, and communities affected by substance abuse and dependency.
Recognizing the long-term nature of recovery, Phoenix House offers substance abuse services across a continuum of care, including prevention, early intervention, treatment, continuing care, and recovery support. In addition to our own programs, we collaborate with partners in the community to offer supplementary services, such as educational classes and support, employment training and placement, medical and mental health services, mentoring, fitness classes, creative writing, theater and music workshops, and more.
Some 1,200 adults and teenagers receive treatment each day at more than 18 Phoenix House programs throughout California. Our highly trained staff members treat each client with respect and compassion and strive to address his or her individual needs.
