Chrysalis House, is a drug and alcohol treatment facility for women and their children. This carefully structured treatment program addresses the many interrelated problems of a female addict. Chrysalis House heals and strengthens each woman for her return as a fully functioning member of society. When a woman successfully completes the 12 month program, she typically has been drug and alcohol free, is fully employed or enrolled in a job training program or in school, and has a place to live. By allowing mothers and children to live together at the facility, Chrysalis House is able to intervene in the cycle of addiction and help keep families together.
