Empowering Women Through Recovery
Providing comprehensive recovery services that empower women to build a better life for themselves and their children
“Thank you for this program. The staff have all been super wonderful and kind.”
“When I started at Chrysalis House I wasn’t able to even look at myself in the mirror. By the end, I was able to say, ‘I love you’ to my reflection.”
“It gave me my life back. I have gained so much knowledge and coping skills, and SELF WORTH since being here. This program has given me the tools. It was my job to pick them up and use them.”
“Chrysalis House gave my children their mother back.”
“Chrysalis House Inc.’s staff were amazing to me in my recovery process and were welcoming and loving to both my baby and I. We will always be grateful for the help and guidance.”



Chrysalis House is one of a few residential recovery centers in the State of Maryland that allow women to bring their children with them, thereby removing a barrier to seeking treatment.
Women with children or women without children are eligible to participate in our unique program. Chrysalis House provides services at no cost to our clients and only accepts those with Medicaid insurance.
Our Commitment
At Chrysalis House, each member of the staff upholds certain values to provide the highest quality of services for every one of our clients.

Empowerment
At our facility, Empowerment means giving women the tools and support they need to take control of their recovery journey. We foster a sense of elevation, helping women rise above their past struggles and build a future full of possibilities—both for themselves and their children.
Therapeutic Transformation
Our Therapeutic approach combines evidence-based treatments with holistic practices to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of each woman. We believe in Transformation—not just healing the individual but strengthening family bonds, as we integrate family-centered care into every step of the recovery process.
Access and Advocacy
We ensure Access to quality care for all women, regardless of financial background, including Medicaid support and resources for mothers with children. Our Advocacy goes beyond just providing services; we stand with each woman, removing barriers and ensuring her voice is heard throughout her journey to recovery.
Compassion and Commitment
Compassion lies at the heart of everything we do, creating a safe, non-judgmental space for women to heal. Our Commitment is unwavering as we walk alongside each woman and her family, providing ongoing support to help them rebuild their lives and create lasting change.
Integrity and Inclusion
We operate with the highest level of Integrity, ensuring that all women receive honest, transparent care. Our commitment to Inclusion means that every woman—regardless of her background—feels respected, valued, and supported as she works toward recovery.
Safety and Security
Your Safety is our top priority. We provide a secure, protected environment where both women and their children can feel safe. Security goes beyond physical safety; it extends to emotional stability, creating a space where women can trust and open up, knowing they are supported every step of the way.

We believe in the power of Hope to inspire women and their children to envision a better future. Healing is at the core of our approach, guiding each woman through recovery and restoration—transforming not only their lives but their family’s future as well.
