Odyssey House Inc - Downtown Residential Treatment Program

Long-Term Residential Treatment in a Community-Based Setting

Odyssey House Downtown Residential offers long-term, structured treatment for adults 18 and older with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. The treatment program supports stability and independence through evidence-based therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and medications for addiction treatment (MAT like buprenorphine and naltrexone. Most clients stay between six to nine months, allowing time to develop the tools needed for sustainable recovery.

Peer Leadership and Life Skills in a Therapeutic Community

What sets Odyssey House apart is its therapeutic community model, where clients take active roles in their recovery and daily responsibilities. Residents participate in cooking, cleaning, and peer mentoring, skills that build confidence, accountability, and independence. Many become peer leaders during treatment, contributing to a sense of purpose and community. This structured, peer-driven approach fosters emotional growth and prepares individuals for life beyond treatment.

Wraparound Support for Mental Health and Social Services

Licensed mental health providers treat conditions like depression, PTSD, and personality disorders. Clients can also access GED classes and job readiness programs, developed in partnership with the Salt Lake City School District. These services help participants rebuild academic and economic stability, while reducing barriers that often complicate recovery. Additional specialized support is available for pregnant and postpartum women, veterans, trauma survivors, and individuals involved in the justice system.

Continued Support After Treatment

Recovery doesn't stop at discharge. Odyssey House offers ongoing support through alumni groups, sober social events, and peer mentorship opportunities. This post-treatment community helps clients maintain connection, structure, and motivation as they transition back to work, housing, or family life.

Accessible, Inclusive, and Outcomes-Driven

As a mission-based nonprofit, Odyssey House is committed to making care accessible and effective. The facility accepts a wide range of public and private insurance plans. For Salt Lake County residents, sliding scale and no-cost options are available.
