The Office of Alcoholism
and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) announced Odyssey House as the
downstate recipient of a three-year, federally funded grant to expand adolescent
services. Odyssey House President Dr. Peter Provet said: "We are proud to
fulfill our mission of treating vulnerable populations of adolescents with
substance use disorders and their families by expanding our Bronx-based outpatient programs, and are
grateful to NYS OASAS and SAMHSA for their support in helping to meet the needs
of a community we are dedicated to serving."
In selecting Odyssey House, Commissioner
Gonzalez-Sanchez, commented on the high needs of the adolescents in our Bronx outpatient program and their
involvement in "multiple systems that include juvenile justice, child
welfare, or mental health."
