Long-Term Residential Treatment in a Community-Based Setting

Odyssey House Downtown Residential offers long-term, structured treatment for adults 18 and older with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. The treatment program supports stability and independence through evidence-based therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and medications for addiction treatment (MAT like buprenorphine and naltrexone. Most clients stay between six to nine months, allowing time to develop the tools needed for sustainable recovery.

Peer Leadership and Life Skills in a Therapeutic Community

What sets Odyssey House apart is its therapeutic community model, where clients take active roles in their recovery and daily responsibilities. Residents participate in cooking, cleaning, and peer mentoring, skills that build confidence, accountability, and independence. Many become peer leaders during treatment, contributing to a sense of purpose and community. This structured, peer-driven approach fosters emotional growth and prepares individuals for life beyond treatment.

Wraparound Support for Mental Health and Social Services

Licensed mental health providers treat conditions like depression, PTSD, and personality disorders. Clients can also access GED classes and job readiness programs, developed in partnership with the Salt Lake City School District. These services help participants rebuild academic and economic stability, while reducing barriers that often complicate recovery. Additional specialized support is available for pregnant and postpartum women, veterans, trauma survivors, and individuals involved in the justice system.

Continued Support After Treatment

Recovery doesn't stop at discharge. Odyssey House offers ongoing support through alumni groups, sober social events, and peer mentorship opportunities. This post-treatment community helps clients maintain connection, structure, and motivation as they transition back to work, housing, or family life.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
