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.
