“Addiction is a disease – a treatable disease – and it needs to be understood." –Dr. Nora Volkow

As a result of years of scientific research, we know that addiction is a disease that affects the brain. The affect on the brain leads to dysfunctional behavior that can negatively impact all areas of an individual’s life. Chronic exposure to drugs or alcohol will alter the brain’s natural balance, chemistry, and overall functioning. As natural brain balance is stabilized through abstinence, the ability to grasp recovery concepts becomes achievable.

Phoenix House, Inc., located in the Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan, has been providing substance abuse treatment services since 1973. In this time, many men and women have participated in and found recovery from their addiction through our services. Our goal is to assist each individual with developing the appropriate recovery skills and concepts in order to achieve long-term abstinence and success.

In Their Words...

"I am 42 years old and I am a recovering alcoholic/addict/person in recovery. I was referred to the Phoenix House for intensive outpatient treatment as part of my Sobriety Court program. For the first time in my life, I was connected with people who understood and helped me to understand my disease. What helped me most was the love, compassion, and support from all of the counselors. The Enhanced Women's Program definitely gets a thumbs up from me. They are comfortable, educational, fun, and friendly groups. My life is better because I chose sobriety. I am proud of my recovery. I have a little over two years of being sober. Recovery is the way of life. I am also proud that I have achieved becoming a Certified Recovery Coach with the help of the Phoenix House. Thank you Phoenix House!! - Jenifer"

"I've learned a lot from this place and it will always have a special place in my heart. Everyone who works here is truly awesome and will never be forgotten by the ones who come through and makes that change for a better life. - B.R."

"I was unable to get and stay sober despite the many legal and moral consequences that came with my drinking and drug use. Coming into the Phoenix House was not by choice and for awhile I looked at it as another consequence. I have come to realize now that it was not something that was happening to me but rather it was something that was happening for me. The Phoenix House provided me with a safe and supportive environment to begin the healing process with others who have shared the same struggles. With the support of staff and my peers I learned how to love myself and build hope for the possibilities ahead. After leaving the Phoenix House I continued to receive the necessary support from others by being an active member of Alcoholics Anonymous, which included working the 12 steps with a sponsor, regularly attending a home group, maintaining a service commitment and sponsoring other men. Living an honest and sober life allows me to experience a level of peace I did not think was possible. I will be forever grateful to the staff and the opportunity that the Phoenix House gave me as I began my road to recovery. - Joe"

""My experience here at the House this time around showed me these patterns and cycles I have been living. It showed me where I was going wrong and doing wrong. It showed me how to live again without the use of a substance. The Phoenix House has played a major role in saving this addicts life. I can honestly say I'm blessed to have been able to be a part of this house. Thank you P.H. staff for believing in me when I could not believe in myself." - K.C."

"I had a chronic addiction and have been to treatment seven times and in five treatment centers. I can truly say Phoenix House saved my life. Prior to coming here, I had a needle in my arm and a tube going to my heart feeding me antibiotics for my heart infection caused by my drug use, which almost killed me. After my 15 years of drug use, I finally found a place that showed me what it’s like to have true faith and hope in other people, and not just be another statistic for another treatment facility. Phoenix House showed me that my expectations for my life are endless. Now I can say that I have over 9 months clean and am a steady volunteer at the House. Holding a job for the first time in my life, and it’s all thanks to God, the program, and the staff at the Phoenix House showing me that it is possible. - Rick"
