This is THE place to go for you or your loved one struggling with substance abuse. I fought tooth and nail to not come here... but it turned out to be the greatest turning point of my life. The staff is amazing and I truly believe Phoenix Rising Recovery should be the model for rehab treatment venues all around the world. The key for me was the wide variety of people and approaches to recovery offered. It's all there for the taking if you are ready and willing to participate in your recovery process. Personally, if it had been the type of place that offered only one point of view with a "My way or the Highway" type of attitude, I would have walked out on day two. But I stayed a full thirty days , and like so many of the people who were there going through the program with me, I would have gladly stayed longer ! The Staff at Phoenix Rising Recovery helped me and guided me in taking time out from my hectic life, to look at why I started abusing substances and why I continued to do so even long after it was no longer any fun for me, my family, my friends, and people around me in general. Phoenix Rising showed me new coping skills from psychological, spiritual, practical, and simply humanistic perspectives that I had never even considered. And they didn't force feed the concepts... they simply presented a wide spectrum of concepts for consideration and allowed me to discover what worked for me. Besides one-on-one counseling and therapy sessions, they also kept us very busy with all kinds of group activities and outings, so we could experience how much fun we can have without having to get drunk or stoned ! I tell you in all sincerity, I feel that I am finally the man I always wanted to be... fun, wise, confident, loving, compassionate, creative, strong, and happy. My wife, parents, family, and friends are loving having the real me around... finally ! Thank you forever Phoenix Rising Recovery !!! P.S. - All the staff at PRR are Superstars; each with their own unique skills, talents, backgrounds, and personalities. I want to pause to give profound recognition, respect, love, and eternal. thanks to my one-on-one Counselor Margo and my one-on-one therapist Ed. Margo showed me it's Okay to approach the world with all the love and energy that is brimming from my heart and soul, and that people would like me all that much more for it. Ed helped me to stop and look at my life... past to present... and showed me new coping skills to apply, rather than anger and substances. He encouraged me to be intelligent and creative in a fresh, healthy way. I also want to give a Mega-Super Extra Special thanks to these wonderful Staff/Phoenix Rising Family members who have impacted my life so profoundly. I could easily write many glowing paragraphs about each of these wonderful humans... but I want you to get to picking up your phone and making the call you owe it to yourself to make... so here's the list.: Amy, Johnny, Carl, Devon, Chris, Jessica, Deborah, Eileen, Michelle, Tracy, Linda, Roshanna, Jass, Allison, Robert, Brian, Jim, Veronica, Mindy, Aaron, Karen, Teddy, Laura, Feather, Renata, and Mark. I hope you or your loved one gets to meet and work with these amazing people. And I sure as hell hope I didn't forget anyone !!!! Love you all Endlessly! read more

I don't know why I had to get sent out to California all the way from Tennessee to find some help for my substance abuse problems, but today I'm glad I was. Phoenix Rising was where I landed after 10 years of drinking, using, and making everyone I loved want absolutely nothing to do with me. I showed up here with just clothes and a duffel bag. I had no money, and no desire to live this life anymore, because I just kept getting beat down time and time again. Phoenix Rising helped me want to change all of this, and it's safe to say it changed all of this and more. My life has never been better. I stuck around after residential, and gave their IOP and Sober Living a chance. I experienced more growth in this last year remaining with Phoenix Rising than I have my entire life. My willingness to change and my efforts to make those changes showed the staff something in me, and I eventually found myself employed here. I'm currently employed here and have no plans of leaving. This places helped me realize that it's my responsibility to give back what was given to me through this program. I definitely couldn't have done this myself. All glory goes to God and for making places like Phoenix Rising a thing for this world! read more

My experience at Phoenix Rising Recovery in Palm Desert was extremely disappointing. As a 100 percent disabled veteran, I entered expecting holistic treatment and meaningful PTSD support. In my experience, the program focused mainly on addiction and I did not receive the holistic services I had been led to expect. When I asked about those services, I felt dismissed and even laughed at. I was also concerned about the environment. I witnessed sexualized comments around my wife and child, and I didn't feel those concerns were addressed appropriately. I also observed what appeared to be a cesspool behind the property, and at one point my service dog rolled in it, which was very upsetting. Toward the end of my stay, I believe false accusations were made about me, and it felt like from my perspective they were accepted without a fair investigation. I was discharged, and I felt it was unjust. Based on my personal experience, I can't recommend this facility. And I especially would not recommend it to other veterans. I encourage anyone considering treatment there to ask detailed questions. Before enrolling. read more

I cannot thank the staff enough for all the help and support they have provided my family and I. The treatment center changed my view on my entire life and gave me the courage to face my addiction head on. The staff became part of my family and uplifted me when I could not. After my stay I moved to their sober living and IOP program. I could not be more thankful, the continued programs through IOP have enabled me with the necessary life skills to continue my sobriety in a confident and healthy lifestyle. The sober living is everything I could want and more. It has a pool, laundry room, common area with tv and games. My favorite part about the sober living is the staff and brotherhood that has developed throughout my time here. As a gay man I was hesitant about living with a bunch of recovering male addicts however, I have been welcomed with nothing but love, support, and friendship. I highly recommend Phoenix Rising recovery, IOP, and Sober Living. Due to their commitment, I have been able to better myself and create a productive and healthy future in a safe and loving environment. read more

I will recommend this place if you are serious about your recovery. I had an amazing experience that changed my life for the better. Granted I have to use all the tools that were taught to me! The groups are exceptional. All the staff cares it offers a wide variety of methods to help you with your sobriety. Margo was my counselor and she went way above what I expected and we will have a life long connection. Tracy head of the techs doesn't mess around and will call you on your stuff but don't let that fool you she really does care!! All the techs have something to offer. Mike is the mens counselor what I learned in his groups guided me. I could tell by my male peers they understood and appreciated him. Ed was great. The yoga and meditation was a game changer. The weekend outings were so much fun! Let's not forget the star of the show Jazzy her food and spirit are outstanding. She puts love in her food! All around it was a great experience that I will carry with me in my heart and soul. Also thank you to Amy and Jessica what an experience. Thank you for my journey on recovery read more

I came to Phoenix Rising, absolutely destitute and broken. I was mentally spiritually and physically bankrupt. I had been homeless for three years prior to my arrival and had to have drugs and alcohol every day. I completed their PHP and sober living programs. In doing so I encountered the most knowledgeable , compassionate, and loving staff that I had ever been associated with having been to three previous treatment centers. Phoenix rising's level of care surpassed the others beyond measure. The support and guidance I received in there aftercare was truly a blessing from God and immeasurable. I could not be more pleased with my involvement with Phoenix Rising. They gave me so many tools and introduced me to a program for daily living that really works. Everything in my life has changed for the better and I have been clean and sober for over two 2 years in addition to being free from multiple mental disorders. I have been able to achieve a complete change spiritually mentally and physically but most of all, because of them, I'm truly happy. God bless Phoenix Rising. read more

I wish there were more then 5 stars because this program deserves more then 5 stars. For real. I crawled into Phoenix Rising completely shattered. Emotionally, physically and spiritually. I definately did not see myself going any further then detox. I've been to a number of other treatment programs and this house had something that the others didn't. I felt welcomed from the day I walked through the door, the techs, counselors and everyone who works there genuinely care for everyone's well-being. I wasn't just another dopefiend coming in and out the door. The love, hope and encouragement at this program is indescribable. I ended up choosing to stay here for 90 days, and it was probably the smartest decision I've made in years. This may sound cliché but I will always have a special place in my heart for Phoenix Rising and all of the staff members there. Amy, Johnny, Jessica, Doug and Ziggy, I love you guys and thank you for never giving up on me and believing in me when I didnt believe in myself. Thank you for loving me when I couldn't. Forever grateful. read more

Phoenix Rising was a life changing experience for me, I went there a little over a year ago and have been sober ever since (one day at a time). The facilities are top notch and the staff was kind, compassionate and understanding. My time there was monumental in building the foundation I needed to continue a sober life. With the help of the knowledgeable staff I was able to learn about this disease through our group sessions. Another awesome part was once off detox I was brought to an outside meeting every night of the week. All these tools they gave me laid down the base foundation to go back home with and continue to live sober. The facilities themselves like I mentioned were outstanding between the swimming pool, the gym, basketball, ping pong table not to mention comfy couches and nice TV's, there was always something to do to keep yourself busy when not in group sessions. The food was also phenomenal they have a personal chef that cooks meals based on what you prefer. Overall a great experience for me and I would highly recommend it. read more

When I came into Phoenix Rising I was broken, I thought I had nothing left to live for. The staff at the facility brought me in with open arms and told me everything would be alright and something told me deep inside I could believe them. The care and patience they have toward the clients is remarkable. They really made me look at what I had buried inside and bring it to the light. The facility is absolutely amazing, offering me some serenity, to really focus on myself. The director really fought for me my whole stay in residential, she really cares about my well being. I have been to numerous treatment/detox centers and I have to say Phoenix Rising has saved my life. I am currently enrolled in school, and start a new job next week. These things would have never been possible if I wasn't able to learn the tools I needed here at Phoenix Rising. Thank You guys from the bottom of my heart. I love you guys so much and you've helped me more than you know!!!!! read more

Phoenix Rising staff have saved my son's life! They did tell me he was a very hard case, in and out of rehabs for almost twenty years. Daniel entered Phoenix Rising on July 4th 2019 and walked out ten days later. During the months that followed they would check in with him and see if he was ready to come back. On December 27th 2019 Daniel finally was ready to accept the offered hand and they sent an Uber right over for him. He was homeless on the streets and no money for drugs after having been arrested for stealing and whatever else he could do. Amy, John and the staff have worked with Daniel to not only recover from booze and drugs but to help restore his soul. It has been a long twenty plus years of watching my son battle his addictions! He was finally ready and Phoenix Rising was there to show him the way! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart and the hearts of his two children. Theresa Jones read more

Phoenix Rising changed my life. From the staff to the counselors to the management, they show nothing but the best treatment one can seek. Their residential and IOP program lay a strong foundation for your sobriety. A special thanks to Evan and Genevieve Kemp for showing me the way to a better sober life. Margo Addeo and Travis Mcanear are key examples on why phoenix rising is so great. The love and care and respect they give, was vital in my recovery. The facilities are clean and well taken care of. Perfect place to focus on your recovery.Big thanks to Brendan who runs a fantastic program at the IOP. And last a huge thank you to Amy. I appreciate you giving me the time and resources to not only repair my life, but make it so much better. I would strongly recommend that Phoenix Rising is by far the best choice to start your journey in recovery. Dillon T read more

When I thought I lost all hope, Phoenix Rising was recommended. I traveled two thousand miles to check into this facility and it was well worth it. The Staff treated me with dignity and respect. They were always professional and inspiring. I went through residential, PHP, and IOP treatment. These programs were exceptional. I am a better man, husband, father, brother, and son due to the inspiration and tools I learned at Phoenix Rising. I am happy to say I am a recovering alcoholic in better health mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. There are fewer clients than the larger facilities which allows for more sharing, caring, one-on-one therapy, as well as group therapy. The Staff and Management team are second to none. I recommend this place to anyone who is truly serious about their recovery. Brian W. read more

This place has changed my life! It is what you are willing to make of it. One day at a time I have been going for 7 months from the inpatient to iop/sober living. It is the only place I have been that isn't all about the money and really cares about your well being as a person trying to get your life together. When it comes down to our safety there is a zero tolerance policy which gives me piece of mind as well as other clients. That goes from the top of the ladder on down, they hold everyone accountable, staff included and are quick to keep this place a safe clean and sober place to grow and become a productive member of society. Amy, Johnny, Doug, Donnie, Joe, Jonas and all the staff are amazing! Myself as well as my family are forever grateful. They help guide the way, but it is up to me to make the most of it!!! read more

As a mother, I cannot express how grateful I am to Phoenix Rising Recovery Center for the incredible care and support they have given my son. After experiencing another relapse, I was worried and hoping he would find the help he needed to get back on the right path. Thankfully, Ed and Margo, his counselors, were absolutely amazing throughout his recovery and kept me in the loop the whole time. Their patience, compassion, understanding, and dedication made such a difference in helping my son get sober again. He has now been sober 90 days and he his back on his feet, securing a job and he is going to meetings with a great community surrounding him. read more

This treatment center saved my life, when I thought it wasn't worth saving. They provided excellent care and hands on support when I was going through the thick of it. Offered me chance after chance when I thought I was a lost cause. Helped me realize my life is worth it. Amy, the head person in charge, is an excellent person and example that the program works if you work it! The staff having experience in substance and mental health, gave me reassurance that I was in good hands. If you surrender and be open minded and willing the opportunities for a better life are endless! Thank you Phoenix Rising Recovery. read more

2 years ago I came to Phoenix rising and it was the most life changing I've ever made. This was my 11th treatment center and I was truly exhausted and wanted to get better , Phoenix rising taught me how to love myself and helped me realize that I deserve so much more than the life I was living . The staff does such a wonderful job and really care about each and every resident that comes through the doors . 2 years later and they gave me the opportunity to be apart of the staff that changed my life and I couldn't be more grateful to be apart of something so special. read more

Phoenix Rising is honestly the best inpatient I could ever imagine going to. The staff is out right phenomenal. They care so much for their clients and go out of their way to truly give you the best experience you can have. I did so much growing there, I had to get uncomfortable for me to truly grow and learn. This is the place to go. The facility is absolutely stunning, the beds are comfortable 10/10 and the food is out this world. They make sure you truly feel at home. It was an honor to get to experience Phoenix Rising. I've never grown so much. read more

This place is terrible. Absolutely terrible! The staff at the iop are unsympathetic, lazy, and run terrible groups. They know nothing about addiction and they do not care about the client or their future in a successful recovery program. Their actual sober living house is just down right pathetic. The house manager staff lacks common respect and basic management skills. The lack of supervision is unreal. I would never recommend thus place to anyone that us seriously trying to attempt recovery. Guaranteed, they will relapse. read more

In the short period of time I"ve spent at Phoenix Rising, I can say nothing bad The food is great the staff is awesome. Its safe and you can really feel they want to help you the best way they know how. I came in on my own will looking like a wreck and WOW do I see the difference they have accomplished on getting me my sobriety/life and family reunification. I have nothing but admiration and love for what they were willing to do for me to have that back. Peace out from the 805 much love!!! read more
