Ebony House Overview

Located in Phoenix, Arizona, Ebony House is a substance abuse facility that offers outpatient and residential treatment to clients with substance abuse and chemical dependency issues. Founded in 1973 by C.T. Black Wally, Elbertzena Fontenot, and James Johnson, the facility began as a local center to treat substance abuse in the African-American community and later evolved into a treatment center for all ethnicities and races. As the founding fathers were three recovering alcoholics, the facility understands the importance of addiction and its repercussions. Women, men, and adolescents can benefit from the inpatient and outpatient recovery services offered.
The average duration of stay for clients in the residential treatment program is 90 days but could be longer depending on the progress of the patient. A typical day at the facility starts with an early morning meditation exercise followed by breakfast. After which, clients are required to participate in group therapy sessions grounded in evidence-based treatment approaches such as 12-step. Group sessions are generally intimate as the facility only admits a small number of clients at a time. Due to the low client load, clients are able to feel safe and heard during group sessions. Clients are also required to attend individual therapy once weekly with their assigned counselor. Narcotics and alcoholics anonymous meetings hold almost every day on-site at 7 pm. On days when 12-step meetings are not offered at the facility, clients are required to attend off-site meetings with the supervision of a counselor.
Clients who have a doctor or legal appointment are provided with transportation to and from such appointments. The staff team at the facility consists of a medical doctor, a psychiatrist, a counselor, and many more. At this time, the facility does not offer detox services to clients and those in need of such care are referred to a nearby facility.
After completion of a primary program, clients are given an aftercare plan to encourage a continuum of care. This aftercare plan may include sober living home arrangements or outpatient treatment.

Accommodation And Food

The facility offers gender-specific residences to men and women registered in the inpatient program. During treatment, men and women are kept apart and treated separately.

The building serves as a housing complex for clients registered at the facility and it is located in South Phoenix.
Group activities and sessions are held inside the residential facility and all clients are entitled to three meals daily. Dietary restrictions may be taken into consideration if it is very important.
