Creative therapeutic support reawakens the artist in adults who struggle with drug, alcohol, and mental health issues. Odyssey House’s Expressive Arts Program also reawakens their spirits and lives.
For more than a decade, our studio has been a therapeutic oasis for clients of our residential treatment and housing programs, enabling residents to find new ways to exercise their creativity and communicate their feelings.
Art helps clients to open up, which also opens doors to improved treatment and healing.
“Art has a redemptive power. No matter how dark your past is, you can use it to create something beautiful.”
— Odyssey House Client
Additionally, art helps fill the empty space in lives shattered by years of substance abuse. It replaces the negativity of drugs and alcohol with a positive activity that clients can continue to enjoy once they leave Odyssey House to enrich their lives.
