The Basics

Odyssey House is a non-profit founded in 1967 by psychiatrist Dr. Judianne Densen Gerber as a drug-free alternative to opiate addiction. Based in New York City, Odyssey House has evolved into a social service agency offering various substance abuse resources, including residential and outpatient treatment and sober living. Odyssey House’s adolescent outpatient program serves adolescent boys and girls, ages 12 to 17, at its facility in the Bronx and at clients’ homes.

Treatment and Staff

It implements evidence-based treatments, including the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA), Functional Family Therapy (FFT), Assertive Continuing Care Protocol (ACC) and the Seven Challenges Program.

A-CRA is a behavioral treatment method that reinforces positive motivation and drug/alcohol refusal skills.

Clients with a dual diagnosis receive additional support through individual therapy with a psychiatrist and medication management. Although the 12-step principles are not implemented into treatment, clients are welcome to attend AA/NA meetings to supplement their recovery.

On-site and at-home sessions are generally one-hour long and frequency is based on the needs of the client. The overall general length of the outpatient program ranges from three to 12 months.
