About Us

Phoenix Recovery was founded by Morgan Baine, whose own journey of healing began in a women’s recovery home that showed her the life-changing power of structure, safety, and community. That experience not only set her on the path of lasting recovery but also sparked her passion for helping other women reclaim their lives.

Though Morgan is no longer with us, her vision remains at the heart of everything we do. Phoenix Recovery continues to embody the compassion, empathy, and commitment she brought to the work every day.

Today, our dedicated team carries forward Morgan’s mission—to provide a home-like, empowering environment where women can heal, rebuild, and discover lasting freedom in sobriety. Phoenix Recovery is more than a house; it is a community and a family, walking beside each woman on her journey to a brighter future.

High-Quality Environment

At Phoenix Recovery, we believe that the environment plays a crucial role in nurturing recovery. Our home is meticulously designed to foster healing, growth, and empowerment for individuals on their journey of recovery. We understand that recovery is a complex individualized process that requires more than just physical space; it demands a supportive, caring, and structured atmosphere.

Loving Accountability

At Phoenix Recovery, we embrace the principle of 'Loving Accountability' as a fundamental aspect of our approach to recovery. This concept combines compassion with responsibility, creating a supportive yet structured environment that encourages personal growth and lasting change. Loving accountability is about guiding our residents with empathy, understanding, and a firm commitment to their personal recovery.

Individualized Support

We understand that each journey to recovery is unique. That's why our cornerstone is individualized support. This approach ensures that every resident receives the specific care and attention they need, tailored to their personal needs, challenges, and goals.

Founder/Program Director

In Loving Memory of Morgan Baine

Morgan Baine, the visionary founder of Phoenix Recovery, dedicated her life to helping women heal, grow, and thrive in recovery. With an extensive background that included key roles at Healing Housing and Journey Pure, Morgan brought both professional excellence and deep personal understanding to her work.

Her journey began at Healing Housing, where she excelled in case management and client care, offering steady guidance and compassion to women in early recovery. As an IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) facilitator, she led therapy sessions that combined clinical insight with genuine empathy. Her later roles at Journey Pure—as case manager, discharge planner, and primary women’s therapist—showcased her gift for helping clients navigate the transition from treatment to independence.

Returning to Healing Housing, Morgan’s impact grew even stronger as Clinical Outreach Coordinator and eventually Program Director, where she helped expand programs that changed lives.

Though Morgan’s passing in 2025 left a tremendous void, her vision and values live on through Phoenix Recovery. Her spirit continues to guide our mission—to create a safe, structured, and loving community where women can rebuild their lives in lasting sobriety.
