About Chrysalis House Long Term
Established in 1986, Chrysalis House is one of the few residential recovery centers in Maryland that allows women to live with their children during treatment, removing a major barrier to care. The program accepts both mothers and women without children, offering services at no cost to clients with Medicaid insurance. Applicants must complete detox and be substance-free for at least 5 days prior to admission.
Build Skills and Support for Long-Term Recovery
The residential program is certified at ASAM Level 3.3 and provides 24/7 clinical supervision. Each woman receives an individualized care plan that may include medication-assisted treatment (MAT), substance use disorder education, relapse prevention classes, family counseling, and on-site 12-Step meetings. Additional support includes life skills training, parenting classes, case management, transportation assistance, and on-site infant and child care.
Continue Growth with Outpatient Options
Chrysalis House offers intensive outpatient (ASAM 2.1) and standard outpatient (ASAM 1.0) programs for graduates or as stand-alone care. Individualized plans include counseling, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), relapse prevention, drug testing, and referrals for housing, employment, and community resources. These flexible programs help women maintain recovery, build stability, and stay connected to essential clinical and peer support while transitioning to independent living.

CARF Accredited
CARF stands for the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. It's an independent, non-profit organization that provides accreditation services for a variety of healthcare services. To be accredited means that the program meets their standards for quality, effectiveness, and person-centered care.
Supportive Medication for Recovery
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling to treat addiction. The medications are used to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, or block the effects of substances. More about MAT
Methadone
Methadone
Dolophine®, Methadose®
Methadone is a full opioid agonist, meaning it activates opioid receptors in the brain to produce effects like pain relief and euphoria. It is longer acting than many other opioids, making it useful in medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder.
It reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings by occupying opioid receptors without causing intense highs. Because it is a full agonist, it must be used carefully to avoid overdose, but it is highly effective when taken as prescribed within a structured program.
Naltrexone
Naltrexone
Vivitrol®, Revia®
Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist, meaning it blocks opioid receptors in the brain and prevents opioids from producing effects like euphoria or sedation. It is used to treat both opioid and alcohol use disorders, but does not cause physical dependence or withdrawal.
It helps reduce cravings and the rewarding effects of opioids or alcohol, supporting long-term recovery. Because it blocks opioid effects, it should only be started after a person has fully detoxed from opioids to avoid triggering withdrawal.
Buprenorphine
Buprenorphine
Suboxone®, Subutex®, Sublocade®, Zubsolv®
Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist used to treat opioid use disorder. It activates opioid receptors to reduce cravings and withdrawal but has a ceiling effect, meaning it produces less euphoria and respiratory depression than full opioids.
Buprenorphine binds tightly to opioid receptors, blocking other opioids from attaching and reducing the risk of misuse. It's often combined with naloxone (as in Suboxone®) to discourage injection misuse and is available in daily or monthly forms.
This center accepts patients receiving MAT prescribed elsewhere for opioid use disorder, but does not provide MAT.
Note: Treatment centers offer different forms of MAT—such as oral tablets, dissolvable films, or monthly injections—and their policies can vary based on state regulations, provider preferences, and insurance coverage. Because of these differences, it's best to contact the center directly to learn what options are available and what might be right for your situation.
