Odyssey House Life

Life at Odyssey House is a journey of hope and transformation. It’s a space where individuals are met with compassion, understanding, and unwavering support as they take courageous steps toward recovery.

For over 50 years, Odyssey House has been committed to a continuum of care for individuals facing substance use and mental health disorders, including residential and outpatient treatment tailored to adults, young adults, women with children, and seniors, as well as permanent, transitional, and supportive housing.

We ensure that financial constraints are never a barrier, navigating Medicare, Medicaid, and all other payment assistance options — finding ways to cover fees for all who seek help.

Guided by dedicated professionals and a community of peers, life in a treatment program becomes a powerful testament to resilience and the human capacity for change. Our science-backed approach rebuilds lives, families, and NYC communities.
