Odyssey House - 650 South University Avenue Coed Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Odyssey House - 650 South University Avenue is a recovery residence in Salt Lake City, Utah, in Salt Lake County, run by Odyssey House of Utah alongside a second transitional housing property a short distance away on the same street.

A Second University Avenue Recovery Residence

650 South University Avenue and its sister property at 642 University Avenue are both part of Odyssey House of Utah's transitional housing footprint, close to the university and hospital corridor on the east side of Salt Lake City. Running two houses on one street lets the organization manage a cluster of residents efficiently while still giving each address its own household.

Run by Utah's Largest Addiction Treatment Nonprofit

Odyssey House of Utah has operated since 1971 and describes itself as the state's largest addiction treatment program. Its transitional housing, including this University Avenue property, is the step between residential treatment and full independence, built for people who already have a working relationship with the organization's clinical staff.

How Utah Licenses a Recovery Residence

University Avenue's Place in Salt Lake City

This stretch of University Avenue sits inside Salt Lake City, the seat of Salt Lake County, close enough to downtown and the university medical campus that residents can reach outpatient appointments, transit and services without relying on a car.
