Last Saturday, Odyssey House held a graduation ceremony for residents from the MABON, Teen Leadership Center and Lafayette Avenue who completed their treatment programs. In his keynote address, John Tavolacci, chief operating officer, congratulated the graduates on their achievement, telling them that they are “living proof that treatment works.”
Graduation is a special event at Odyssey House. It’s an opportunity for graduates to talk about their treatment experience and future plans to their family and friends, and to encourage their peers who are still in treatment to stick with it.
