After Care Program
The Odyssey House After Care program is aimed at supporting people who have completed a residential treatment experience for their alcohol, other drugs and and gambling problems. The service offers non-residential support and is located in Campbelltown.The After Care Program is open to individuals who have participated in the Odyssey House program or other interventions.
We aim to assist people in recovery from illicit drugs by stressing the dangers of engaging in the use of licit substance i.e. alcohol, and prescription medications.
The program consists of a weekly support group, which has an educational focus and deals with issues of relapse prevention. The approach is a holistic one and aims to assist clients to build recovery-based lifestyles. Topics covered include:
- Relapse prevention skills
- Relationships
- Life skills
- Stress management
- Communications
- Relaxation techniques
The program is not designed to assist those in crises. If a client's relapse becomes unmanageable they will be referred to a more suitable service. Members may be required to submit to random urinalysis.
After Care is building a support network within the general community and the welfare field in order to build a resource base for clients. We accept referrals from other alcohol and drug agencies, family and friends, police and judiciary, health and medical professionals as well as self referred clients.
