outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Aftercare services may include peer coaching, career counseling, and other personalized support.

Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Honestly, I did not feel comfortable with staff constantly searching through my stuff over and over to check if I had drugs. However, this place will not keep you sober. You keep you sober.

Phoenix House is probably the overall best treatment center around for the money. There are certainly things that they could do better, but all things considered it is a good choice. I completed treatment at PH with no issues at all, no write-ups, no dirty drug screens, nothing. I worked a good, honest program and they helped tremendously all throughout.BUT.... Three weeks into my sober living journey I ran into some personal issues at home and stayed an extra day on pass. Then a day later I got detained after work and missed a drug screen. The next day all my stuff got bagged up and thrown into a pile like garbage and they refused to give me my deposit back. I am very neat and clean and I had spent hours cleaning that house and even done some repairs. The fact of the matter is that Phoenix House stole my money just because they could and that's that. I worked an honest program I am proud of, and Phoenix House, and in particular JT, shamed themselves with petty theivery over a lousy 300 bucks. I'm still clean but unfortunately Phoenix House ....not so much.

I will never forget this place or forget the staff that were there at my time. They saved my life and it was strict because of Covid at that time. I had the best time in my recovery and grateful for the help I received.

This place saved my life and showed me how to live again. Because they taught me how to live a sober life I've even regained the trust and respect of my children and family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This place preys on people who go there. It's church-backed bilking of cash from people trying to make a new start. They hassle people trying to work and then they take 75% of what they earn AND charge them rent to stay! Tuscaloosa judges: stop sending people here! We try to help by employing people at our companies but the administrator there is just a sanctioned grifter.
