Phoenix House Academy in Springfield Reviews and Ratings Details
The following is based on a combination of Surveys of Alumni, Staff, Loved Ones, and Reviews and Ratings from around the web.
Reviews at a Glance
- Individualized Treatment
Some facilities have an addiction treatment protocol that all patients or clients are expected to follow, while others customize or individualize treatment based on a person’s unique needs and circumstances. Factors that may affect treatment decisions include age, lifestyle, medical conditions, type of drug, religious beliefs, etc.
- Family Program
Research shows that the odds of successful, sustained recovery from addiction are far higher when family members and loved ones are involved in treatment. Drug and alcohol addiction often have genetic roots, whether related to substance abuse, mental illness or both. Family dynamics also play a role and, often, family members are the first to realize a loved one has developed an addiction. Also, it’s important for family members to understand and embrace the lifestyle changes that are required to sustain recovery.

Dan Pender - Program Director and Clinical Supervisor
When Dan decided he wanted to move in a new career direction, he saw that Phoenix House Academy was looking for a family therapist in Springfield, Mass. He had enjoyed his work with adolescents in Christian education, so he applied and was hired as a senior counselor. After working in that position for over two years, he headed the launch of a new Phoenix House program for adults at a co-ed facility. Arbor Houses’ mission is to engage and motivate individuals in early recovery, since most of their clients come right out of detox and go into the intense, highly-structured 30 day program.
