Phoenix House

About Phoenix House

Phoenix House is a sober living operator in Queens, New York, running recovery residences and licensed treatment programs across New York City and Long Island. The organization has worked in New York for decades and now delivers residential care, outpatient clinics, mental health services and community recovery supports under one nonprofit structure.

A New York City Recovery Housing Provider

Phoenix House is a treatment organization that also houses people, and that shapes everything about how its residences run. Clinical staff work in the buildings. Case management, counseling and discharge planning are built into the program, so a resident is not assembling them from separate agencies. The trade a resident accepts is a scheduled day and clinical oversight, and what they get in return is care and housing that cannot be separated from each other by a billing problem or a waitlist.

Phoenix House Sober Homes in Queens and Suffolk County

Three Phoenix House residential programs are listed in this directory:

• Long Island City Residential, on Vernon Boulevard in Queens, coed.
• Springfield Gardens Community Residence, on 140th Avenue in Springfield Gardens, Queens, coed.
• Wainscott Residential, on Industrial Road in Wainscott, Suffolk County, for young men.

Two sit in Queens County and one on the South Fork of Long Island, about a hundred miles apart. That spread is useful in practice. A family on the East End can place someone locally, and a resident who needs distance from the Hamptons can be referred into the city inside the same organization.

Serving Adults of All Genders in Recovery

The Queens residences admit adults of all genders and run gender-specific programming inside them. Wainscott is a young men's program. Splitting the portfolio this way lets Phoenix House take people that strictly single-gender operators turn away, while still keeping trauma groups and the harder clinical conversations in single-gender rooms.

Treatment and Recovery Housing Under One Operator

Alongside the residences, Phoenix House runs outpatient clinics in Long Island City, East Hampton and Hauppauge, mental health programming in Brentwood, a community recovery center in Brooklyn, and alumni and aftercare services. The clinical range is the reason to choose this operator over a standalone sober house. Someone who needs more structure can move up a level, and someone stable enough to leave residential care can step down to an outpatient clinic the organization already staffs.

Medication-Assisted Treatment Across the Portfolio

Medication-assisted treatment is offered at the residential sites. Buprenorphine and methadone are prescribed and monitored as ordinary clinical care, which removes the most common reason a person on opioid use disorder medication loses recovery housing. New York's Office of Addiction Services and Supports maintains statewide treatment and recovery resources.

Certification and Licensing for These New York Sober Homes

Recovery residence certification in New York is voluntary and runs through two separate bodies, as a guide to sober house certification in New York sets out. Licensed treatment programs are a different matter. They operate under state oversight covering staff credentials, clinical documentation, incident reporting and resident rights, and that oversight applies to the Phoenix House residential sites.

Who These New York Recovery Homes Are For

The programs suit someone whose substance use sits alongside a psychiatric diagnosis, someone coming out of detox who needs clinical care alongside a bed, and young men whose families want distance and structure at the same time. Anyone looking for an unstructured room in a peer-run house will find these programs heavier than they want. Referrals arrive from hospitals, courts and treatment centers across the city and Long Island, and people who apply on their own meet the same admission process.
