Odyssey provides residential and non- residential rehabilitation programs for men and women with a drug, alcohol or gambling problem.
The Odyssey House program helps the individual develop self confidence, a sense of adequacy and how to become a contributing member of society.
Their programs are structured live-in programs where all residents of the community are joined together in a single purpose – to improve their well-being.
The treatment method used at Odyssey House treats addiction, drug misuse and associated types of anti-social behavior as being symptomatic of underlying causes and manages clients accordingly. When appropriate, the dependent children of residents participating in the program may also receive accommodation and support. Children 10 yrs and under. (From Websites)

“Surge in demand for alcohol rehab”
News.com.au: 15/7/2007
From the CEO Of Odyssey: James A Pitts MA
There are no easy answers to the problems of drug misuse in our society and the reality is that drug problems are not confined to an isolated few. Research shows, however, that drug rehabilitation can work. More than 70% of residents completing our program remain drug free after a year.
All residents in the program must confront the reason they turned to an addictive lifestyle. Residents are taught alternative ways of dealing with the ups and downs of daily life.
After completing the program, residents are likely to live longer, reduce crime and ease demands on health and community services. In 2013-14, Odyssey House residents accounted for over 28,507 drug and crime free days.
