Together we rise
At The Phoenix, we’re fueling a movement that builds on the power of community and belonging to change how society approaches addiction and recovery. Through hundreds of weekly sober events and activities, we’re creating safe spaces for all individuals to connect, build friendships, find support, and have fun.
Human connection and community are at the core of The Phoenix movement. And why our proven model is making a real difference. With 44.6 million Americans living with a substance use disorder and millions more directly and indirectly impacted, our work is more urgent than ever.
• Our story
The Phoenix began with a simple idea: what if people in recovery had a place to connect through activity instead of isolation? What if fitness and wellness could be part of the healing process?
“We are cultivating transformation through community. We are igniting a movement of millions to change the way our society relates to addiction. We are building a world where, together, we all rise, recover, and live. Thank you for helping us carry this forward. ”

Community isn’t a bonus. It’s everything.
The data has been telling us the same thing for 18 years. Community doesn’t just help people get sober — it transforms every dimension of their lives. Harvard studied it. Peer-reviewed journals published it. The numbers below are the proof.
