It helped my Mom encourage other people to live their best lives.
The program is great. It's a long term program. I'm the Mom and I was there For 8 months.Now we live in supportive housing free for a year.The people that work there are awesome.They help women reunite with there children.I gained custody back for my daughter and will be celebrating a year clean in February.
The Chrysalis House is not perfect, no recovery center is.. If you use the tools taught from them and put your recovery first you can live a happy life alcohol and drug free.. I am very grateful for the time I spent at Chrysalis House.
Ms Caressa is amazing she saved my life. Such a beautiful facility and they are serious about recovery I would definitely recommend!
My sister has been there for almost 6 months. We have done the two family sessions that we were asked to do. We live almost 2 hours away from the house. Last weekend my sister was to have a pass to come home and visit us in Pennsylvania. She didn t get to. This weekend I want to go get her on a pass and I still don t know if she s allowed to come out . I don t want to leave to go get her because it s such a long drive but I do want to see her and bring her to see her mother. I have called and been disrespected. I know they can t confirm or deny if she is there but I don t know how to resolve this problem with the house. My sister has been treated badly and I think it s because of her age. She s older than most of the residence and doesn t have any young children. She has a hard time getting passes to go out. She has done everything they ve asked her to do and is living in the sober living part. We would like to see her. She s only had two day passes since she s been there And we would like her to have a weekend pass. I m not sure what we have to do to resolve this problem. My sister and I are both frustrated along with our mother. We are not addicts and will supervise my sister s visit. She has been doing well since she s been there and I really think the program has helped her a lot. And I believe she will stay clean when she leaves there. It s just not fair the way they treat her.
Chrysalis House saved my life and got my son in my custody. I would recommend this program to anyone who needs help. I'm grateful for have had them in my there for me
The Chrysalis House SAVED MY LIFE!! They provide safe shelter to addicted broken single woman and ones with children. We become a big family with lots of love & support.
The staff gave their TIME, LOVE & DEDICATION. Sure at times tough love was dished out ....but it is for good reasons!!!!
I learned how to take suggestions and was taught different tools on how to live life clean and sober.
After graduating the program i attend their IOP (Intensive Out-patient Program) Mon. Wed. Thurs & Fri from 9-11:15.
I am GRATEFUL and BLESSED
By far the WORST treatment facility I have been in and I have been in several.My first two days there, at least FOUR staff members remarked about the program "At least it's not jail". Is this the best you can say about your program? I've personally never been to jail. Maybe that should be their new slogan.
The staff are constantly screaming at clients for no reason. If you attempt to file a complaint or grievance in the boxes provided, you are publicly called ungrateful and threatened with discharge.
Smoke breaks are awful. They take your cigarettes during admissions and often make you wait 4-6 hours for a smoke break. I begged for Nicorette to help with the withdraw and was repeatedly denied. How can a treatment center not understand withdraw from one of the most addictive substances on earth? To make matters worse, often after you wait for the posted smoke break time, they either change it or make you jump through hoops for a cigarette.
I was told my medication was accepted there. Upon arrival I was told one med was ok and one was not. I agreed to this but was told a week later that neither was ok so I informed staff I would have to find a different program. They begged me to stay so I agreed to try different meds, but I warned them I would likely be exhausted and tearful for several days. They promised to support me during this process, however after ONE day in bed they called a crisis unit and attempted to have me sent to a homeless shelter.
The Board of Health are currently investigating them for the mistreatment I endured. I honestly felt traumatized by the time I left, with PTSD symptoms returning and frequent anxiety attacks for several days. Would not recommend to my worst enemy. I hope I never see another butterfly as long as I live.
My mother is going here currently and she is doin so much better and is full of life the staff is amazing and form real relationships with the women and actually want to help them get clean and stay clean
It was not what I thought and i was tricked into going here! staff is unprofessional and the daycare is unfair to children. I went in with a positive attitude and came out with my 20 month old daughter devastated all because they wanted the $ for my funding. they don't care about the people in there, they just see dollar signs. please take my advice and stay away from this place. it is not what will keep someone clean :(
I was in 2017 and i not only learned alot about addiction and how to live again but i learned how to have fun again. I am forever grateful to everyone at Crysalis house.
