ODYSSEY HOUSE/ CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT
twopakim:
I am going to talk to a lawyer about the hundreds of us were emotionally & in some cases , phsically abused by the tactics of Odyssey House. I lived In The Hampton, NH one in the late 80's and was mentally TORTURED by group and individual repremands, encounter groups and "copping marathons " where you werent allowed to sllep for 72 hours while the group "copped" to alll the BAD things they had done and got away with . One of the couselors were dismissed upon admitting she had a "sexual" affair with one of the male patients ! I will be back in here to update you . If you would like to contact me , feel free to at : Twopakim@yahoo.com .

I spent most of my adolescent life at odyssey house, i ATTRIBUTE my success in life based on what had happened there....I do not know of your experience there .....but I was also there in the mid eighties.... I had no problems what so ever .....I loved the program it was eye opening and reclusive .....if you had a bad experience then I would say that you still need some help in your life and you need to peruse what it is that ails you..... If you need someone to talk to I am available .....alll the time ......
hope you have a great time in life .....much love and respect............ I am DEEEEEEEPLY saddened by the closing of odyssey house....it was a godsend in a time of my life that was a turbulent one...

NO physical abuse EVER EVER EVER went on there....I know for a fact.....and if you want to peruse this I will defend it to the hilt....I love that program ....I was there in the same time frame as you and I saw NOOOOOOOOOO abuse whatsoever......your not even in your right frame of mind to say that....think again ...

Sorry, but programs like Odyssey House remain under suspicion.
You see, I believe the first post before i believe yours...
For two reasons:
1. Programs lie all the time (you could be one of their shills, here to implement "damage control".)
2. Often it takes time for people who survived programs to see around their own denial of abuse.
