Helping More People in Need

Millions of Americans struggle with mental health conditions, eating disorders, and addiction, but treatment options remain limited coast to coast.

We are committed to changing that by expanding our clinically exceptional services nationwide while partnering with payors to make treatment more accessible. 

Some call it passion — we call it doing the right thing.

Bridging the Treatment Gap

Behavioral health has a gap in the care continuum between acute hospitalization and traditional outpatient levels of care. Odyssey was built to bridge that gap with a full continuum of subacute treatment services for individuals with a mental health condition, addiction, or eating disorder. By allowing individuals to reintegrate themselves through our supportive treatment process, they maximize their long-term recovery potential.

With flexible payment options, Odyssey is dedicated to expanding access to high-quality, effective treatment. Our accredited facilities — licensed through CARF® International and The Joint Commission — consistently uphold the highest standards, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to ethical, safe, and advanced care.

Understanding the Treatment Gap

Compared to shoulder surgery, the treatment gap is noticeable: after surgery, you step down into physical therapy for recovery and follow up with your doctor as needed. 

Behavioral health missed the “physical therapy” stage, causing repeated relapse into acute settings. Odyssey’s subacute services are the “physical therapy” for behavioral health.

Levels of Care

We offer a complete continuum of care — from inpatient to intensive outpatient programs — along with detox services and transitional housing to support each stage of recovery.

Conditions We Treat

Odyssey’s behavioral healthcare network supports individuals throughout their recovery journey, combining compassionate, evidence-based care with concierge-quality amenities.

“At Odyssey, we’re dedicated to bridging the treatment gap by providing evidence-based treatment delivered through care and compassion. Through superior subacute programs and focused growth, we’re ensuring that more individuals can receive the treatment they deserve, empowering them on their path to recovery and helping build a brighter, healthier future.”

– Richard Clark, CEO

Our History: Transforming Behavioral Health Care

When Odyssey’s founder, Scott Kardenetz, was young, his grandmother was institutionalized in a state hospital. That terrifying experience profoundly influenced his belief that individuals with mental health conditions deserve better care with more compassion and better resources.

This conviction led to the founding of Odyssey Behavioral Healthcare in 2015, aiming to fill the critical gap in the care continuum between acute hospitalization and general outpatient treatment.

Our commitment to doing the right thing remains steadfast as we continue to expand, providing high-quality, accessible treatment options to as many individuals as possible nationwide.
