Always Striving to Improve

Our leaders and staff at The Phoenix House of Tuscaloosa are constantly striving for Knowledge & Improvement for our clients. Ted Sexton, Phoenix House Executive Director, along with  Jon Tyler, Phoenix House Clinical Director, recently paid a visit to The Other Side Academy in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Other Side Academy is an alternative program for those facing long-term incarceration as well as those seeking a change from the life they’ve chosen in the past.

Sexton & Tyler gained many valuable insights touring the facilities and meeting with an awesome group of leaders.
