Phoenix House Houston Counseling Center

Phoenix House Houston Counseling Center is a substance use prevention and mental health education provider located in Houston, Texas serving youth, families and historically underserved communities across the region.

Operating from North Loop West in the Houston Heights area, this location functions as the home of the Region 6 Prevention Resource Center, with CARF accredited prevention programming for both children, adolescents and adults.

Phoenix House Texas focuses on community based education, stigma reduction and early intervention rather than traditional addiction treatment.

Prevention and Education Programs

As of September 2023, Phoenix House Texas transitioned away from outpatient and residential treatment services to concentrate on substance use prevention and mental health education.

Services typically begin with community outreach, school based programming or workshop registration through the Houston Prevention Center.

Participants can expect evidence informed programming such as Project Empathy, an educational workshop designed to reduce stigma around addiction, along with community trainings including positive psychology and well being and harm reduction: opioids and naloxone.

These offerings emphasize awareness, resilience and public health education for individuals, families and professionals.
