Phoenix Houses California

At Phoenix House California, we are dedicated to helping young people, women and men overcome substance and alcohol abuse to live extraordinary lives in recovery.

Since 1979, we have been a leader in the field of substance abuse treatment, providing addiction, behavioral health and family services to anyone who needs our help, often offering the only chance of recovery to the underserved and uninsured in our community.

We are committed to helping people live extraordinary lives in recovery.

Annually, over 32,768 individuals — including family members, parents, teachers and students in California — receive our life-saving services: residential and outpatient treatment, continuing care, recovery support, school-based prevention and mental health services, and in-custody substance abuse and mental health services for male adolescents and adults.

Your support helps provide a safe place for homeless women and men who have spent years on the street and used substances to temporarily forget they had no real home and really did not belong.

Your support helps give a second chance to the man who has spent more than 50% of his life in prison because he chose gang involvement to survive his impoverished childhood.
