The Phoenix Concept

Sobriety House announced in October 2007 its merger with The Phoenix Concept, a transitional residential treatment facility in downtown Denver. Sobriety House is the remaining corporate entity.

Ray Haworth founded the Phoenix Concept, Inc. in 1988 with the mission of providing addiction recovery and safe refuge to homeless men. The Phoenix Concept provides six months of residential and ongoing outpatient services to men suffering from alcoholism, drug addiction, and mental health issues. It is also licensed to offer assisted living.

Sobriety House assumes all Phoenix Concepts’ contracts and continues to serve adult men who are chronically homeless and suffering from substance abuse. Sobriety House serves men and women at its other locations. The merger increases Sobriety House services to 100 treatment beds.

Future plans include making better use of the space at the Phoenix Concept’s location at 2162 Lawrence Street and expanding the program to include more outpatient services.
