Phoenix House New York
Phoenix Houses of New York has helped thousands of men, women, and adolescents overcome substance and alcohol abuse in order to lead healthy, productive and rewarding lives. Since 1967, we have been committed to supporting individuals and families by providing a wide range of services, from prevention, early intervention, and treatment to continuing care and recovery support. Our services include treatment for substance abusers with mental health problems and programs for mothers with children.

We currently operate a second teen academy at East Hampton and a Career Academy in Brooklyn that offers an extensive program of vocational training for adults.
Phoenix House operates more than 20 residential and outpatient programs for adults and adolescents in New York City, upstate New York, and Long Island, treating close to 2,000 individuals daily.
