Odyssey House Trust Christchurch
Odyssey House Trust Christchurch provides therapeutic support and education to clients with drug and alcohol addictions. Our mission is to reduce the harm to the individual, family and community by reducing the long term effects of addiction.
We have been successfully providing treatment in Christchurch for the past 20 years, and currently provide services for
- Residential male adults
- Residential male and female youth age 14-18
- Day programme for both male and female aged 12-18
- Outreach pre and post program support
- Prison Alcohol and Drug Assessments
We are a community consisting of programme participants and staff, this community works together to encourage and promote positive development in the individual. All individuals choose to belong.
The members learn how to use the community to assist and promote personal growth, with the primary ‘therapist’ and ‘teacher’ in the Therapeutic Model being the community itself.
It also provides a predictable environment with well-defined boundaries, as well as encouraging individuals to learn not only consistency, but also reliability, responsibility and accountability.
The community as a whole provides a crucial context for change.
Funding:Odyssey House is funded by the Canterbury District Health Board, Community Correction, Child Youth and Family Service and Donations.
