Radiant Recovery With Transformative Care | Phoenix, AZ
About Embers Recovery
Healing Doesn’t Happen In Isolation. Welcome To Immersive Support.
Actively pursuing recovery ourselves, we could see firsthand the gaps in treatment and support. Gaps we have worked tirelessly to overcome. We have made it our mission to pass on the tools that helped us early in our journey to all who turn to The Embers Recovery for help.
There are two types of facilities to serve our community and bring life-changing, transformative care to Phoenix: an outpatient treatment center and sober living homes. All are modern, comfortable, and specially designed to create a positive environment for healing and treatment.
OUR APPROACH
Methods For Activating Transformative Healing
Our approach to treatment and support is rooted in the belief that healing doesn’t happen in isolation. You or your loved one need guidance, support, and effective solutions from those who have gone through this before and treatment professionals who are experts in their field.
Our outpatient program sets a high standard for those seeking to redesign their lives with intention and purpose. We’ve created a supportive and structured environment where individuals can address their past, embrace transformative tools, and develop new, healthy patterns to sustain recovery.
Our Mission | The Why Behind Our Work
Our mission is to redefine treatment for addiction and co-occurring disorders with deeply personal and transformative care. To help our community build fulfilling lives that they’re eager to live.
We equip our patients with the tools and confidence they need to face their challenges head-on, overcome their fears, develop emotional resilience, and cultivate a future defined by renewed possibility.
We’re not in the business of rebuilding. We want to help our patients turn 180 degrees in a new direction, start from a completely new place, and become the best version of themselves that has never existed before.
Antony Payne co-founded The Embers Sober Living with one goal: to pass on the tools that helped him in early recovery. A devoted husband and father of two, Antony’s road to sobriety has been a rough one, shaped by humble beginnings. Introduced to recovery as a teenager, he spent over a decade wrestling with addiction before finding lasting sobriety.
Growing up in a home torn apart by addiction, Antony’s youth was marked by chaos. As a young man, he struggled with self-care and a lack of purpose, which only fueled his battles. But through a solid recovery program, meaningful relationships, and unwavering support from his family, he was able to turn it all around. Today, he credits his success to these pillars of recovery—many of which were built in quality sober living.
