Odyssey House
Dedicated to giving its clients and residents something addictions like alcohol, other drugs, and gambling never can: A Future
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.
However, research has consistently shown that drug rehabilitation can work.
Since Odyssey House's inception in Australia over thirty years ago, it has helped more than 30,000 people with drug and alcohol problems.
The drug and alcohol programs offered by Odyssey House help to provide a 'A calm in the Sea of Addiction' for thousands of drug affected men and women and their families.
Every resident involved in the program must confront the reason why they resorted to an addictive lifestyle. Residents are also taught alternative ways of dealing with the ups and downs of daily life.
Odyssey House not only saves lives, but also saves the community substantial amounts of money. After completing the Odyssey House program, residents are likely to live longer, lessen their drug use, reduce crime and ease demands on health and community services.
The Odyssey House McGrath Foundation is a registered charity, that requires the support and generosity of businesses and the general community to maintain the level and quality of its vital, life saving programs.
