Residential Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Program

The Odyssey journey to become an individual with self confidence, a sense of adequacy, coping ability and a contributing member of society is arduous.
Residents achieve therapeutic goals by demonstrating their ability to move through the four levels of the program. These are:

To understand and negotiate the Odyssey system positively

To organise and complete tasks

To have a responsible approach to others

To be responsible for your own welfare

As residents move through the different levels of the program, they gradually take over the day-to-day administration and running of Odyssey House. This involves cooking, maintaining the property, painting, gardening, laundry, vehicle driving and other activities.

The Odyssey concepts by which residents live, include such basic beliefs as:

Drugs are just the sympton of underlying problems
Everything received at Odyssey House must be earned
The object of treatment is to feel good about one's self
Personal responsibility and honesty are vital
Being popular is less important than being respected

The therapeutic interventions used at Odyssey House include vocational counselling, extended group therapy specific to each level of the program, anger management groups, one-to-one counselling, cognitive behvioural therapy, domestic violence counselling, psychological services, psychiatric services and assertiveness skills training. There are also various sports and recreational activities organised.

Drug misuse can effect people from all walks of life. Graduates from the Odyssey House residential program include nurses, doctors, public service workers, builders, teachers, businessmen, labourers, drug and alcohol workers. Odyssey House has helped these people return to a normal life and become productive members of society.
