Odyssey House Utah Reviews

I am blessed odyssey gave me sobriety and a second chance at life. I agree with their idea of a TC therapeutic community. And i am over all happy with their services. The staff is wonderful for the most part they do have a couple of bad apples that need weeded out. But that is true with just about any treatment center. I do wish they would pay more attention to the rude staff members. And get rid of them. And I believe they could help more people if they lightened up a bit. Put TVs in the rooms let clients leave the property or use tobacco these are adults and you are not a jail. I believe a few changes like this would allow them to help more people and prevent walkouts. But they do care and put their heart into helping clients succeed if even if I don't agree with all their ways their results speak for them selves give them a honest chance and it will help you change your life for the better. And build strong healthy relationships and find happiness that doesn't come from a injection or isn't snorted smoked or popped.thanx jen, Audrey and Allen y'all really care.

I love odyssey house I'm currently a voyger in out patient I been a pass addict for 12 years and coming to odyssey has helped my first treatment has changed me even if this is the begining of my change it's more changed then I have ever been I love it

The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The redwood building is beautiful and accessible. The therapists are genuine. Highly recommended.

I was a self admit, no where to go, unable to quit on my own. Odyssey helped me so so much. Yes it's difficult to change your life, but if you want it and have a small amount of hope. This place will surely be with you the entire way. Everyone is very dedicated to each person coming through. Super involved, lots of structure, and very very thorough after care plans.
It's really the best treatment center I've been through. And I've been through a few. I have been sober the longest I've ever been, which is almost 4 years! Thank you Odyssey House. I'm eternally grateful!

I genuinely believe some people need help in treating their addiction or dependence. However, I find that Odyssey Houses approach is concerning and that they don t understand the dynamics of addition, dependence, pain, physical or mental health. It turns out I was misdiagnosed in primary care and here.

In my childhood after being in an accident that left me unconscious and killed my father I started to experience painful headaches, sleepiness, presyncope, anxiety, and nausea. For years I was dismissed in care settings as well as by my family because it was just mental health related . As I aged these symptoms became worse and started to effect other systems including urination and defecation issues leading to scrutiny by my peers and therapist which they decided to handle in group settings there.

In my 20 s it finally came to a head when I started to pass out and developed paralysis. It turns out I have ehlers danlos syndrome and when I was in the accident it s quite likely it screwed up my neck and caused a brain bleed. Although, there s no way of knowing when because I did not receive a CT or MRI until my 20 s. 10 years after my stay here and after 15 years of indescribable pain and loneliness with my undiagnosed condition I received an occiptocervical fusion for unstable spinal joints.

Occiptocervical instabilty is serious condition in which your vertebrae (atlas) compresses your most vital organ, the brainstem. It s a miracle I m even alive. It s unfortunate I am physically as damaged as I am as a result of their and many others incompetence. It s even sadder that I had to be treated for treating undertreated pain and that my pain and spinal issue are significant enough now to need opioid therapy resulting in dependence (the issue they tried to prevent in the first place).

Doctors first rule is to do no harm, what I can t understand is why they re hardly ever held responsible for that harm. I would be cautious of this place because whether you have something physical or you truly are addicted it s literally your life that hangs in the balance. Unfortunately, I didn t have much of a say because I was a child then and to everyone except myself I was fine. It turns out I wasn t.

I was very nervous getting help with my addiction but now that I have odyssey house helping me I ve never been happier they have helped me so much. The staff is amazing supper loving and caring I would definitely recommend

I am grateful to Odyssey for helping me take my sobriety more seriously. They have been helping me correct my thinking errors and other issues that may arise. I know that it's just going to get better.

Odyssey house has changed my life. I have learned so much and processed a lot of things I ve never been able to. They ve taught me better communication skills, how to set boundaries, and radical acceptance. The program does have some hard rules but as addicts we need them. I will never be able to thank odyssey house enough for everything they have taught me

I read the negative reviews and just want others to know they are from people who are unwilling to follow the structure of this program. The negative reviews are from those that have not yet witnessed the miracle of Odyssey House. I have been and remained sober for over 7 years. I was a heroin and cocaine addict who spent years and years in and out of prison, jails and institutions. I have almost died from endocarditis twice. I was pretty hopeless. I never thought I would be able to achieve recovery from my disease unless otherwise incarcerated. In December of 2013 I decided I had to at least attempt to get sober and recover. I knew when the time came for me to get sober and recover I needed the program model of a treatment community by my side in order to be able to maintain anything in my life. Odyssey House was where I always knew I would end up. I started Outpatient in early 2014 and I felt like I was home. I threw all the beliefs I had about myself and all the stigmas that come with being a addicted person and started an amazing journey. Odyssey, is not an easy program, you have to be ready to do some work. You have to be accountable for your actions so you learn what is right and wrong and why you did the things you did. You have to be willing to recognize what makes you act, think, react and utilize substances to survive. You work through the trauma that has debilitated your entire life. This is NOT easy work....but if you want real freedom and want recovery you WILL work. I belong to a group of my peers who to this day are my family. I can call on these people day or night for anything. My peers/family will forever be a part of my life. I saw where people say "Addicts work there so...." YES, they do because they to were given the gift and know in order to maintain it they must give it away to others. That is their calling. We as graduates know our program and how to run it. That is the beauty. All the low ratings on here are also from people that are bitter because they have to essentially blame someone, something in order to justify continuing down the destructive path. That is okay...My daughter struggles from addiction. She is currently in the new Mental Health Women's Program. How innovative of Odyssey House RIGHT!!!! My daughter is thriving and making the changes in her life to heal from her trauma. IF YOU HAVE SOMEONE WHO IS NEEDING TREATMENT AND NEEDS REAL HELP PLEASE CALL ADMISSIONS AND START THE PROCESS!!!! I have over 7 years sober after 28 years of being on one substance or another. I have own my own salon and I work in Recovery fighting for insurances to cover their members while in treatment daily. I am a home owner. I am present for my family. I am married in a healthy relationship. I am happy and have peace and joy. I have mended years of burned bridges. This is what Odyssey House has done for me....

I went to Odyssey House as a "self admit" to get treatment for alcoholism. During my intake process, I told 3 different people that I was using medical cannabis to treat my PTSD. I specifically asked if this would be a problem and was told it wouldn't be.
Well, come to find out I was LIED TO. Odyssey House does not recognize the medical benefits of Marijuana. I was told to either stop using cannabis or leave the program.

So I left. Because I was LIED TO durring my intake.

Thanks for nothing, Odyssey House.
