Addiction has reached pandemic proportions in the United States, prompting organizations like Phoenix to rethink traditional treatment models. The current approach often focuses on short-term, acute care, which statistics reveal is insufficient for sustained recovery.

Scott pointed out that Phoenix's model shifts the focus from solely clinical intervention to building a community that sustains long-term sobriety. "Our way was working better, but we couldn’t reach enough people," he said. That’s where partnerships, especially with organizations like Stand Together, have made a crucial difference.
