At Odyssey, our vision is a world free of addiction.
We provide rehabilitation services to address harms associated with alcohol and other drug use. We believe that addiction is a serious yet treatable condition. With the right support, people can overcome their dependence on drugs and alcohol and rebuild their lives.
Caseworkers are the heart of Odyssey. They are the unsung heroes, providing the compassion, guidance, and support that can make all the difference in someone’s journey towards recovery.
They work one-one-one with clients to develop and monitor each client’s needs, goals and treatment progress to help them achieve long-lasting sobriety.
Once such client who came to Odyssey was Hayley. Hayley came to Odyssey after decades of relying on drugs and alcohol to cope with her pain. You can read Hayley’s story at the following link and learn how Odyssey helped her overcome her addiction.

Monitoring data is collected by Odyssey throughout a client's journey and is a crucial aspect of our operations, as it enables us to monitor and assess the impact of our services.
By systematically recording and analysing client data, Odyssey gains valuable insights into the effectiveness of our programs and the outcomes achieved by our clients. This data includes information about individuals' substance abuse history, treatment progress, relapse rates, and overall well-being.
We aim to identify trends, patterns, and areas of improvement within our treatment methods, allowing us to tailor our services and interventions to better meet the needs of our clients. We also work with peak industry bodies to share practices and data trends.
This data-driven approach ensures that we remain at the forefront of evidence-based practices in addiction treatment, enabling us to make informed decisions and continually enhance our impact on individuals' lives.

If we are to achieve gender equality we will need to pull every lever; being more intentional about bringing women into focus supports smart investment decisions. Philanthropic dollars are limited; it is investments in women and girls that bring the greatest opportunity for social change.
