Established in 1978, Chrysalis House, Inc. is Kentucky’s oldest and largest licensed residential treatment program for women with substance use disorders allowing women to keep their infants and toddlers with them while in treatment.
Chrysalis House is a comprehensive agency with three residential facilities, a forty-unit apartment complex, a 18,000 square foot, multi-purpose community center, and outpatient program.
In addition to treatment for substance use disorders, Chrysalis House provides mental health treatment, case management, domestic violence counseling, computer training, GED tutoring, vocational training and job placement assistance, access to medical care, housing assistance, and children’s services. Chrysalis House believes in collaboration and maintains over seventy contracts or agreements with community partners.
Chrysalis House specializes in treating pregnant and parenting women. We allow mothers to keep their newborns and toddlers on-site with them while in residential treatment. Admission of pregnant women is prioritized to ameliorate the effects of alcohol or drugs on the unborn child. Almost 50% of women entering Chrysalis House are pregnant and deliver babies while in the program.
Helping women achieve the capacity to provide for themselves and their children is our focus. Continuing care is imperative and graduates are provided with support services on an ongoing basis and may always come back for assistance. Chrysalis House is making a difference in so many ways! Graduates are staying sober, working in jobs that support their families, earning their GEDs, living in their own homes, and giving back to their community as their lives come full circle.
