Phoenix House, located at 700 35th Avenue in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, is a state-certified, non-profit transitional residential treatment facility dedicated to supporting individuals in overcoming alcohol and drug addiction. Established in the late 1960s, it has evolved to provide comprehensive care for both men and women across the state.
The facility accommodates up to 40 clients—28 males and 12 females—offering a structured 90-day residential program. This program emphasizes strong case management, daily routines, and peer support to foster long-term recovery. Services include individual, group, and family counseling, vocational and adult education, life skills training, and job placement assistance.
Phoenix House operates with the support of the United Way of West Alabama, the Alabama Department of Mental Health, and private donations. The program requires a one-time admission fee of $300 and a weekly housing fee of $150, payable after clients secure employment. Importantly, no one is denied admission based on an inability to pay upfront fees.
To initiate the admission process, prospective clients must submit a State of Alabama Drug and Alcohol Assessment. For those in the Tuscaloosa area without a current assessment, Phoenix House offers appointments with qualified therapists at no cost. Assessments can be faxed or emailed for review.
With a mission to provide individualized, supportive, and compassionate care, Phoenix House strives to equip clients with the tools necessary for sustained sobriety and a productive return to society.
