Some 82% of our participants between 2014 and 2015 finished the addiction services program, without returning to substance misuse.
Participants achieved this success even while facing challenges like homelessness and criminal charges.
Phoenix promotes health and wellness in the community by creating inclusive learning spaces where participants uncover their strengths and realistically appraise their challenges. Then, they move to action planning with the support they need to advance toward fulfilling their life goals.
Participants also achieved the following impressive goals:
I lived bitterly homeless for three-and-a-half years… today I am a Corporate Accounts Manager with a wonderful wife and daughter. “Norm” (Former Phoenix Participant, age 38)
My focus became DRUGS… Get and do… get and do. Today, I’m making a difference and I’m helping people. “James” (Former Phoenix Participant, age 24)
I lost my job, my home, my family and friends to my addiction. Now I have a good future ahead of me. “Rob” (Former Phoenix Participant, age 32)
Addiction cost me my self-respect. It separated me from my family and friends and finally cost me my job. Today, I have my own business! “Chris” (Former Phoenix Participant, age 26)
