Last weekend was the “Triumph for Teens” Annual Summer Party, which celebrated the 45th Anniversary of the Phoenix House and its founder, Mitch Rosenthal. The event raised funds for the Phoenix house, which is one of the nation’s largest providers substance abuse prevention, treatment, and recovery support services. Guest dressed in summer best and gathered around the oceanfront pool at the beautiful estate of Margie and Michael Loeb.  The event celebrates the 45th anniversary of the organization, and honored Phoenix House Founder, Dr. Mitch Rosenthal.

 

 

 

 

Phoenix House offers special programs for at-risk youth, mothers with children, veterans, and individuals with mental health problems. The Phoenix House Academies provide intensive residential treatment alongside full-time academic education, empowering teens to find and sustain long-term recovery. Phoenix House clients receive counseling services, medical care, career training, and continued support upon returning home to help maintain their recovery.
