Odyssey House helps New Yorkers in need overcome drug and alcohol misuse, improve their physical and mental health, and defeat homelessness. Hope is found.

Every day, we help people in recovery give back in ways that make them stronger and their communities richer. Possibilities are discovered. Lives are saved.

“So many recovery groups had me looking at the past. Run For Your Life is physically and metaphorically about moving forward. It’s time spent in a recovery community away from the war stories. Time to be something else.”

The clients in our ElderCare program remind us that recovery is always possible. It’s never too late to start over. No matter how long someone has struggled with problematic drug and alcohol use, Odyssey House is here to help find a better way forward.

Even though the physical event is canceled, our mission continues. The funds you have contributed continue to support people in recovery across our programs. All registered participants will receive a credit for their race registration. We will send details shortly.

Thank you for standing with us, and please stay safe this weekend. We hope to see you back at the starting line next year.

With gratitude,
Odyssey House

“I want every woman hiding in addiction to look up, see me, and know that she does not have to face recovery alone.”

Odyssey House is closing the treatment gap for women by removing the barriers that keep them from seeking help. We support women at every stage of recovery with specialized care — including our Center for Family Excellence, where moms can bring their babies into treatment and access on-site daycare while they heal together.
Recovery doesn’t end at discharge. Peer groups, outpatient services, and community events keep support going long after treatment.
If you’re a New York woman struggling with addiction: you are not alone, and change is possible. Our approach is practical, non-judgmental, and built for real recovery.
Meet our team and community at the Run For Your Life 5K on September 26th!

Meet Omar, an Odyssey House client and member of the Run For Your Life team. Runners like Omar also explore creativity through acting workshops with Stella Adler Studio of Acting studio, expressive arts, journaling, and continuing education. That spirit shaped this year’s Run For Your Life series: runners wrote and voiced their own narrations, ad-libbed on camera, and approved every step before publication.

Special thanks to music writer-producer and Odyssey House alum Prince Akeem , member of Omar’s recovery fam, for contributing his track to this piece.

Join us September 26th at Icahn Stadium to run our annual 5k and to enjoy arts and crafts, games, and dancing. At Odyssey House, we do it all!

On June 4, we celebrated the official opening of the Kate Rothko Center for Recovery — a $32 million, 60-bed residential treatment facility on Wards Island built specifically for adult men in early recovery from opioid use disorder.

This facility has been years in the making. It integrates Medication for Addiction Treatment with withdrawal and stabilization services, individual counseling, group therapy, and individualized medical and psycho-social support — all under one roof, in a space designed with residents at the center.

We are grateful to Governor Kathy Hochul, NYS OASAS, DASNY - Dormitory Authority of the State of New York , and the Rothko family for making this possible. And we are proud to carry the name of Kate Rothko Prizel, MD — a physician, an advocate, and a partner in this work.

The building has been open since January. Sixty men are already inside, doing the hard work of recovery. We couldn't be more honored to be part of their journey.
