Healing and Change for People Affected by Drug Use

Odyssey House Victoria has been a place of hope and positive change for individuals working towards breaking their pattern of addiction for over 30 years. We are a multi-service agency with a holistic approach to drug treatment.

The work of Odyssey House is more relevant than ever. Each new day brings with it many more enquiries from the friends and loved ones of people struggling with drug or alcohol problems - and many drug users themselves - desperate to overcome the their addiction.

Odyssey House Victoria has a strong commitment to working with families, young people and children. We offer parents the opportunity to bring their children to live with them while they go through the residential rehabilitation program. This allows a great number of families, single mothers, and single fathers the chance to stay together.
