It creates a comprehensive support system or extended family to meet the needs of residents to simulate real-life experiences in a structured incubator environment.9. How long is the program? The Odyssey Program is an Odyssey in itself. The program is a long-term residential program, that averages six to twelve months.

Each resident through open-confrontation, peer to peer group support with a highly trained staff must make a personal comittment to their recovery. How long or how fast a person completes the program depends on each individuals determination and perserverance to take their individual Odyssey. Many residents choose to utilize the extensive outpatient program after 30 days. Others choose a longer program in order to develop a permanent longterm life-style change of sobriety. 10.
