Chrysalis House

Chrysalis House offers addiction treatment for women in Lexington, Kentucky.

It has residential treatment, outpatient services, recovery housing, counseling and wraparound supports that include vocational and housing assistance.

They use a model that most other rehabs don't offer where mothers are allowed to keep their babies with them throughout treatment on a campus built around healing families together.

Children Reside on Campus

Here infants and toddlers up to two years old live on site with their mothers throughout treatment with overnight visitation available for older children.

Nearly half of the women admitted are pregnant with pregnant women given admission priority to reduce harm to the unborn child.

The campus reinforces this with its on site Prep Academy offering a Head Start program operated with the Community Action Council.

This provides early childhood education for children from birth through age three while their mothers are in treatment.

For a woman looking for treatment but afraid of losing custody time or leaving an infant behind Chrysalis House removes that fear.

Residential Care to Independent Living

Chrysalis House runs its care continuum on one campus with three residential facilities housing 16 to 20 women each.

They also have an outpatient program operating weekdays by appointment and Serenity Apartments.

That's a 40 unit recovery housing complex with two and three bedroom units for people transitioning to independent living with their families.

Typical program length runs four to six months or more.

This structure suits women seeking long term stability rather than a short clinical stay.

Women move through phased treatment and into recovery housing on the same grounds supported by over seventy community partner agreements covering medical care, job placement and children's services.
