Working in PIVT has given me the opportunity to engage responsibly with the world again. I learned with it means to be a responsible person again. I went to work and
worked hard when I didn’t want to. I was respectful when I felt I was justified in being angry. I built positive pro-social relationships with the people around me for the first time in years. I am now working full time at the job site I was placed in through PIVT, and I am moving into the transitional phase of the program. Having a PIVT placement enabled me to transition easier and I thank everyone involved.

"I am writing you to let you know just how much I appreciate Odyssey House’s Tuesday night Family Group Therapy sessions.  This weekly group has become my life-line in coping and learning about my daughter’s addictions. Albert Ochoa goes above and beyond to help each and every one of us in that group.  The energy each Tuesday is incredible and heals my soul so that I can continue on this journey in supporting my daughter. Albert’s presence and participation is responsible for much of this positive energy that propels this group into understanding our addict child.  I am forever grateful for Albert."
