Operating under the auspices of the Phoenix Houses of Los Angeles, Inc., Phoenix House Academy at Lake View Terrace (LVT) offers a strength-based, gender-specific treatment continuum for teens with substance abuse and co-occurring mental health problems. Phoenix House offers residential and outpatient options, education, intensive family and support services.
Located on a spacious campus in north-east San Fernando Valley, near San Gabriel Mountains, Phoenix House Academy of Los Angeles occupies a modern two-story building with 2-person bedrooms, classrooms, meeting and counseling spaces, music room – a fully equipped recording studio, outdoor patios, gardens, and sports facilities, such as a weight room, as well as softball, basketball and soccer fields. Despite its tranquil, rural setting, the facility is easily accessible by public transportation – bus, Metrolink, as well as a network of freeways (210, 5 and 118).
Since opening its doors in 1994, the Academy has distinguished itself as one of the most successful programs for the integrated treatment of youth with co-occurring disorders in Los Angeles County. Innovation has been the hallmark of our success—a vigilant eye on the ever-changing needs of the youth and families we serve and a focus on evidence-based, emerging and promising practices within the field. We have responded to the needs through a continuum of care based on an assessment of risks and protective factors in each adolescent’s life, family and community. We emphasize preventative services through outreach to local schools and community-based organizations, peer counseling, tutoring and mentorship programs.
The Phoenix Academy residential treatment model for adolescents, which offers a strength-based, family-centered treatment continuum for teens with substance abuse and co-occurring mental health problems, has been designated as an evidence-based practice by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration’s (SAMHSA) National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices (NREPP, 2008) as well as a model program by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP, 2006).
