“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 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"

"Since leaving the Phoenix House, my life has been able to flourish. I have gained successful employment, stable housing and attend meetings regularly. I am back to coaching volleyball. These are all the things that were given back to me as a result of believing in myself and doing hard work. The Phoenix House gave me my life back and the tools to cope. I understand what it means to live life on life’s terms; it isn’t always easy, however I am not afraid to ask for help. Life is choices and I look to make the best choices that are suitable for me and for that, I am grateful to the Phoenix House. - Gregory"

"I was using drugs and alcohol to hide from all my emotions and feelings from a pretty young age. I've been in and out of jails since I was 17 which were the only places I could kind of remain sober. Even in jails I could figure out how to use occasionally. I lost complete control over my life to addiction. Some bad things started to happen and my life choices were getting worse. My health was getting worse. I couldn't get up in the morning or go to sleep with out using something. By the grace of God and the staff at the Phoenix house they lead me to be more confident in my self. I've been clean for 7 months today. Life is better today and my life is based on doing the next right thing. Thank you Phoenix house for everything you have taught me. Keep help saving life's. -Max"

"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 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"
