“There is nothing better than seeing a new client lost and broken, turn the corner and reclaim hope, confidence,and a life of meaning.” That’s why The Phoenix Recovery Center was formed. “We’re passionate about helping those suffering from this awful disease. It is our privilege to be a part of the best clinical, admissions, program & billing teams available in this field.”

Through its tenure, the company has hit many milestones, including being recognized on the 2016 INC 500 fastest growing companies in America list, coming in at number 34. Jake loves this industry and the clientele we support. He serves in the recovery community as the Vice President (President Elect) of the Utah Association of Addiction Treatment Providers.
