About Odyssey House George Rosenfeld Center for Recovery

This residential treatment center supports women, families, and older adults working to overcome substance use disorders. It offers a safe, structured place to heal—where pregnant women and parents don’t have to choose between care and family, because children can stay with them. The 231-bed facility sits on Wards Island, part of a 480-acre city park between East Harlem, the South Bronx, and Astoria, Queens, providing a calm, focused space for recovery.
Treatment plans are tailored to each person, blending therapy, medication-assisted care, and mental health support into one coordinated approach. Recovery services also include education, job training, and peer support, helping people rebuild their lives in practical, lasting ways. By focusing on both emotional healing and life skills, the program strengthens each person’s ability to maintain long-term recovery and move forward with confidence.
Daily life at the center follows a steady rhythm of therapy, wellness activities, and time with family or supportive peers. The environment encourages connection, trust, and respect—key parts of the healing process. As residents explore the roots of their substance use disorder, they also build healthier habits and coping skills. This supportive structure helps them feel prepared to reenter their lives with stability and strength.
