Other treatment places are purchased by various other Regional Health Authorities, throughout the country.Ideology/ model:Phoenix House Haga is a 3rd generation therapeutic community for addictions, (Broekaert et al). The model and subsequent detail regarding the ideology can be found in the literature and is most frequently referred to as "community as method" (De Leon). We think it is realistic to describe Phoenix House Haga, as a modified therapeutic community adapted from TC generic roots to the Norwegian culture, traditions and individual need.Nevertheless, our historical roots can be found both in the U.S.A. and through European therapeutic community pioneers.
