Odyssey House is a private, non-profit program providing treatment of drug and alcohol addiction, emotional problems, and anti-social behavior. Since 1971, we have helped many adolescents and adults on their "journey to health."

Our highly-successful treatment programs teach new values and healthy coping skills. We help residents create and maintain drug-free, positive and productive lifestyles. Odyssey House graduates are able to meet the challenges of life without returning to former, self-destructive patterns.

Our drug-free, co-educational facilities are staffed by a multi-disciplinary team of professionals and counselors. This experiences, caring staff includes psychiatrists, physicians, registered nurses, psychologists, social workers, counselors, teachers, recreational specialists, and vocational counselors.

Recovery at Odyssey House is based on the unique concept of "therapeutic community." Positive peer culture and role modeling help to reorient residents' values, thinking and behavior while addressing individual emotional problems. Residents learn to be responsible, honest and to care for others. Essential to this process is "giving something back" to the community. Residents participate in group activities that benefit society while reinforcing feelings of value and self-worth in the residents themselves.

Odyssey House of Utah demonstrates an impressive record of success. An average 88% of Odyssey House graduates remain drug-free, crime-free and are enrolled in an educational program or employed 2 1/2 years after leaving Odyssey House.
