Who we are:
Odyssey House Lafayette Avenue offers exclusive girls-only treatment for young women with substance abuse and other emotional/behavioral problems. This new gender-specific treatment approach helps teen girls achieve lasting sobriety and get back on track with their schooling and other life goals.

The girls-only 16-bed center is staffed by a multi-disciplinary team of counselors, teachers, and healthcare personnel who give residents the individualized support and attention they need to grow into healthy young women.
