TREATMENT PROGRAMS

For Women With Children

Moms battling drug and alcohol addiction often face a tough choice: taking care of themselves or taking care of their children.

At Odyssey House, you don’t have to make that choice, because pregnant women and parents with children can stay together, helping to build stronger families.

We help mothers learn how to break the cycle of substance abuse and create nurturing homes for their children.

Our Family Center of Excellence provides a bright, safe and supportive environment for you to overcome your substance abuse and learn new life skills—from managing emotional stress to developing better parenting skills.

Odyssey House’s Family Center provides on-site daycare, licensed by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Additionally, our Early Head Start pre-school program can help your children stay on track while you’re getting your life back on track.

Once you complete your program, we’ll work with you to find transitional or permanent housing. And you can always depend on Odyssey House for peer-group support and outpatient services to help you maintain the life you desire for your family—without drugs or alcohol.
