Phoenix House Texas provides substance use prevention and mental health education programs for youth in grades K-12, as well as for adults and the broader community in Austin, Houston, and Dallas.
We provide schools and communities with cutting-edge, evidence-based, Positive Prevention services that create community awareness of the health consequences of substance use, alcohol use (including underage drinking), marijuana use, and prescription drug misuse.
We offer a range of Positive Prevention resources and programs designed to empower individuals, families, and communities to make informed decisions, prevent substance use, improve mental health and well-being, and foster resiliency. We offer three different levels of school-based Positive Prevention, including Universal Prevention (YPU), Selective Prevention (YPS), and Indicated Prevention (YPI). During the past year we have expanded our Positive Prevention programming to also operate the Region 6 Prevention Resource Center. Our evidence-based curricula include Botvin Life Skills Training, Guiding Good Choices, Positive Action, Learning to BREATHE, Curriculum-Based Support Group, and the Blues Program. In fiscal year 2024, our Positive Prevention programs reached more than 51,000 people—a 96% increase overall from the year prior. Our Positive Prevention programs reach participants in 77 ZIP Codes across Dallas County, Travis County, and Harris County. Our Dallas County Programming specifically reached 6,513 people across 32 ZIP codes. On average, 92% of participants across all of our Positive Prevention programs completed successfully.
Since September 2024, we have been significantly growing our Positive Prevention services, tripling the number of programs we operate in Dallas County. Help us grow our programs and empower youth, families, and communities in Dallas County with the tools they need to thrive!
We are passionate about healing individuals, families, and communities challenged by substance use disorders and related mental health conditions.
At Phoenix House Texas, we're committed to preventing substance use and educating our communities about mental health. Through our prevention and education programs, we empower youth and families with knowledge, support, and guidance. Your contribution on North Texas Giving Day directly funds these initiatives, creating a healthier and safer environment for youth as well the the broader community.
At Phoenix House Texas, our youth are at the core of who we are and what we do. Since addiction does not discriminate, we provide services to a wide range of patients from all types of communities. As an organization, we work to be respectful of the wide range of cultural behaviors, reduce opportunities for bias and help our work to better resonate with all partners. PHT recognizes and works to address the disparity in access to healthcare that disproportionately hurts communities of color and LGBTQIA+ individuals.
