Odyssey House Victoria is an alcohol and other drug agency that provides opportunities for change and growth by reducing drug use, improving mental health, and reconnecting people to their family and the community.

For more than 35 years, Odyssey House Victoria has worked with families, young people and children. We provide both residential and community-based services. We offer parents the opportunity to bring their children to live with them while they go through the residential rehabilitation program. This allows families and single parents the chance to stay together with their children.

Odyssey House Victoria's current programs include:

• A 113 bed long-term Residential Rehabilitation including:
  • Koori Women’s diversion program
  • Pharmacotherapy program
  • Specialist in-house Child Care Unit
  • Parenting education
• A 15 bed short-term rural Residential Rehabilitation
• Adult and youth day programs
• Community-based assessment, treatment, support and referral
• Adult Drug and Alcohol treatment
• Intensive Community Rehabilitation for Adults with Ice addiction  
• Children, Youth and Family Alcohol and Other Drug and mental health intervention services
• In-school early intervention, treatment, education and support programs
• Financial counselling and financial counselling for problem gambling
• Education and Training (OHV is a National Registered Training Organisation)
• Drink Driver Education Programs

Each year, with the help of generous people such as you, Odyssey House Victoria accommodates over 550 adults and 75 children in its residential treatment and support programs. We also provide support, counselling and employment programs and other key services, in the community, to over 1000 individuals and family members per annum.

However, many more people in the community remain without help due to lack of agency funding and resources. Please join with us and make a gift today to support the vital work of Odyssey House Victoria today.
