In Long Island City, Phoenix House offers adults a secure, encouraging setting to concentrate on recovery through two specialized programs. The women’s program is designed around women’s specific needs and includes parenting education and support, trauma-focused care, anger management, emotional awareness, and relapse prevention. The men’s program provides therapeutic interventions tailored to men’s needs. Each client begins with an initial medical and psychological assessment to determine their individual requirements and shape a detailed treatment plan. Treatment is personalized and supported by case management that monitors progress and helps make adjustments as needed. Clients work toward recovery goals with a multidisciplinary team, including licensed therapists, counselors, and trained medical staff dedicated to high-quality care in a supportive atmosphere.

The center’s highly structured dual-diagnosis approach combines holistic, evidence-based services. Residential programming can include individual and group therapy, relapse prevention counseling, educational and vocational assistance, and life skills development. Treatment may draw on established modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed therapies. Some programming also incorporates experiential, therapist-led activities, such as art, music, or dance therapy, to strengthen social and emotional well-being.

Along with evidence-based clinical therapies, clients receive education, vocational support, and life skills training to help prepare for reintegration and long-term sobriety. Phoenix House also offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals dealing with physical dependence, using medications such as methadone or suboxone to help reduce withdrawal-related physical symptoms and support recovery.
