Flint Odyssey House Inc - Detox/Residential/Outpatient Program

Family-Centered Approach

The program accepts men, women, couples, and families, including pregnant/postpartum women and parents, so recovery can progress without separating caregivers and children. Residential beds for clients’ children and on-site childcare are available. Enhanced Women’s Specialty Coaching supports mothers in recovery and connects them to community resources and reproductive health education. The 24/7 Dads Fatherhood Program is designed to build parenting skills and emotional awareness for fathers. Family, couples, and group counseling are provided to help families plan for reunification and stable routines after discharge.

Evidence-Based and Community Care

The center’s approach blends social learning and insight-oriented therapy. Evidence-based services include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, anger management, trauma-related counseling, and telehealth options. Clients receive comprehensive assessments for substance use and mental health, full medical histories, and physicals. They are also given screenings for substance use, tobacco, and mental health conditions so staff can tailor care plans from admission through discharge planning and aftercare.

Medical Detox and Residential Treatment

Detox is available 24/7 with clinical and medical monitoring, typically lasting two to five days based on medical necessity. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) are used routinely during withdrawal to reduce risk and discomfort. After stabilization, clients can step into short-term or long-term residential programs. Residential care maintains structure while focusing on triggers, coping skills, and community engagement. Naltrexone-supported relapse prevention is offered.

Practical Aftercare Support

Case management is available to link clients to social support and community resources as needed. These include housing services and transportation assistance to reduce missed appointments. Employment counseling and vocational/educational support, including GED preparation, help clients to build economic stability. Recovery coaches, peer mentoring, self-help groups, and outcome follow-up provide continuity of care. Language access includes sign language for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. Special programming is available for seniors, clients with co-occurring mental health conditions, and survivors of sexual or intimate partner violence and trauma.
