    Job Description

    Job DescriptionOur Mission:

    Since 1967, Odyssey House has gone beyond helping individuals beat drugs and alcohol. We help rebuild lives. There's more to recovery than just getting clean. We help individuals get healthy again, too, with medical and dental care, fitness programs, support for your mental health and more. Individuals can stay with their children while in treatment, while learning new life skills, so they can stay together and repair other broken relationships in their lives. We provide educational and work skill trainings, outpatient services and available housing assistance, so individuals can step back into real life with a real future.

    If that sounds different than other treatment programs, you're right. Because Odyssey is where recovery gets real.

    • A 35-hour work week (as opposed to a 40-hour work week)
