Odyssey House, Inc., a private, nonprofit organization, has been providing substance abuse treatment, education, and prevention services in the Salt Lake City, UT area for nearly 40 years. Services include individual, group and family therapy, milieu therapy, medication management, some medical services, life skills training, vocational rehabilitation, educational services, transitional housing, psychiatric services, and recreation, for young adults and struggling teens ages 13-17 years old.
Odyssey House was originally founded by Dr. Judianne Densen Gerber in New York and individual Odyssey Houses quickly spread across the United States and other countries. In the 1980's the individual companies became incorporated and Odyssey House of Utah opened their residential programs in 1990.
The Executive Director at Odyssey House of Utah is Adam Cohen, MBA, the Clinical Director of the Adolescent Facility is Sylvia Anderson-Conn, LCSW and the Director of Adolescent Services is Christina Nielson, LCSW.
Odyssey's adolescent residential program offers dual diagnoses treatment in addition to a Therapeutic Community for students. Therapists track the client's progress in sessions and evaluate their interactions in the residential community, determining what next step in care will be needed. Students attend Odyssey Academy, an accredited high school on property, in addition to life skills training and sober fun and recreational activities.
Students also participate in individual therapy, gender groups, family therapy and motivational groups, in addition to crisis intervention and /or sexual trauma recovery counseling as needed. A unique aspect to Odyssey House is free aftercare services for life once a client completes the program
