Odyssey House - The Basics
It is easy to feel alone when in addiction and feel your life is being dominated by alcohol and drugs. You are not alone, Odyssey House is a leading expert in alcohol addiction, drug and prescription medication dependence and co-existing mental health conditions.
The treatment methods used at Odyssey House are unique in treating problematic drug misuse and its attendant behaviours as symptomatic of underlying personal problems (e.g. low self esteem, sexual abuse, domestic violence, parental drug misuse, health problems, family/relationship issues), which must be addressed to successfully overcome drug dependence and remain abstinent in the long term.
Our programs are not easy. In order for personal growth to replace drug dependency, clients work hard to change any negative attitudes and values, confront the reasons they resorted to drug misuse, and learn strategies for dealing with the ups and downs of daily life.
Your Odyssey journey will lead you to become an individual with self confidence and empower you to live a happy and fulfilling life without alcohol and drugs and its devastating effects.
Making the decision to seek treatment can be overwhelming, but your road to recovery begins here. Our Admissions and Intake Centre experts will speak with you over the telephone to learn more about your needs and provide further information on our programs.
Should you be suitable and wish to proceed a formal phone assessment will be scheduled and to arrange a smooth transition into one of our programs.
You can contact the Admissions and Intake Centre on 9281 5144.

- Admissions and Intake Centre

How can you support us
Odyssey House has been saving lives since 1977, giving hope and inspiring positive changes in over a 1000 individuals and family members each year to overcome their addictions and to live fulfilling lives.
With the help of our supporters we have been able to continue our vital programs and hope to continue to expand our Parent’s and Children’s Program. This program is dedicated to keeping families together through the recovery process and with the guidance of specialised staff and clinicians they address the needs of both parent and child.
We continue to have a lengthy waiting list for this program and hope to raise enough funds to expand in the near future.
