Odyssey House George Rosenfeld Center for Recovery
About Odyssey House George Rosenfeld Center for Recovery
You’ll find Odyssey House’s George Rosenfeld Center for Recovery housed in a historic building that dates from 1915. This 231-bed multigenerational behavioral health treatment facility provides specialized residential care for women and older adults aged 55 and older. You’ll benefit from intensive substance abuse services, including medication assisted treatment (MAT). It’s based on Wards Island in New York City, New York.
Signing Up for Medication Assisted Treatment
One great feature I noticed was their MAT program. They prescribe FDA approved medications, such as buprenorphine or naltrexone, to manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
They complement care with behavioral therapies, community based services, monitoring, and recovery support. Weekly counseling, medical services, and peer support are available. They also connect you to outpatient treatment or their Recovery Center to continue your journey.
Educational and Vocational Training
Another thing that caught my eye was their vocational and educational training. You’ll benefit from ongoing support to build a career and financial stability.
They offer comprehensive vocational assessments to develop your career and educational goals and match your skills with a job that works for you. You can access ongoing counseling and community resource referrals to develop a solid recovery foundation.
Housing Programs
I also think it’s great that they offer housing programs. You can access permanent and transitional supportive housing options. They assess your needs to place you in a comfortable home that supports recovery.
These services are available for those participating in or have completed their treatment program. Specialized placements are also available for families and individuals who have experienced homelessness, have disabilities or special needs.
