Their standard and intensive outpatient programs are designed to serve adults who are experiencing dysfunction due to substance misuse, but are able to remain safe while living at home, and maintain sobriety with a lower level of care.
Adults go through a thorough initial assessment to develop individually tailored treatment plans to fit each individual’s unique set of circumstances. Their intensive outpatient program (IOP) meets from 9-16 hours per week, depending on the severity and specific needs of individual clients. Treatment teams consist of certified addiction specialists and counselors, in addition to mental health professionals and psychiatric providers, available to treat clients struggling with co-occurring mental health conditions. On average, clients are in treatment at the Odyssey House for 3-4 months, and upon successful completion, receive ongoing support to maintain long-term sobriety and live stable and independent lives.
