Phoenix was established to initially support people with drug and alcohol addictions on their recovery journey transformation. In that process, the Society’s founders, Michael and Ann Wilson, saw that people flourish when conditions exist to meet their needs, hopes and dreams and that this happens in a community transformation providing reciprocal support and contributions.
Since 1989 the Society has grown from an idea, to its first recovery house, then additional recovery houses, and now is a multi-faceted service provider that helps people achieve remarkable success in their lives. Phoenix has helped over 30,000 people address their addiction and related issues.
Phoenix Society is located in Surrey, BC. We help people all across BC, with a majority from lower mainland area. We are centrally location and easily accessible by transit. Phoenix Society is dedicated to social innovation and community initiatives that help participants exit the cycle of addiction and homelessness.
The Phoenix Society is a not-for-profit society that became a registered charity in March 1992. As a registered charity, we focus on developing partners, building community capacity and offering meaningful and sustainable solutions for individuals.
