Welcome !

Thank you for visiting the Phoenix Society and for your interest in our community based programs. Since the Society’s inception, our work has been based on respect for the whole person, life-long experiential learning, and the use of community as a healing force.

We have taken a leadership role on behalf of those in our community who have not responded well to traditional rehabilitation or education. We have successfully used a holistic approach to recovery from alcohol and other drug abuse.

The Phoenix Centre

The Phoenix Centre for integrated addiction services completed its official groundbreaking ceremony on the 30th of March, 2005. It was completed in April 2007 and opened to the public on 20th of April 2007.

The Phoenix Centre signifies new hope for individuals recovering from alcohol and drug misuse.

The Phoenix Centre hopes to transform communities

The Phoenix Centre utilizes a community economic development approach called the “Sustainable Livelihoods Framework”.

The Phoenix Centre aims to develop the capacity of people affected by substance misuse to participate productively in the community and the new economy, and to build community capacity through innovative partnerships with governments, educational institutions, community service organizations, financial institutions and business to create healthy, safe and vibrant communities for all of its citizens.

The Phoenix Centre uses a strength’s-based approach

The “Sustainable Livelihood’s Approach” is a strength’s-based approach that focuses on identifying and mapping a person’s existing strengths (referred to as “assets”), choosing those strengths or "assets" they would like to strengthen or new "assets" they would like to build.
