ABOUT CHRYSALIS
Founded over 40 years ago, Horizon Services, Inc. operates three detox programs and three residential facilities in Alameda, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties, in northern California. Among them is Chrysalis, a residential treatment facility for women aged 18+ who are struggling with substance abuse issues. It also caters to women struggling with homelessness, dual diagnosis, or HIV, or referred by the court or another agency.
Detox is not available on-site: all clients must have 72 hours clean and sober before admission. The center only takes voluntary admissions who are committed to getting sober.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
The program lasts three to six months, depending on the individual client’s level of need.
Chrysalis holds that successful addiction treatment for women must assess, define, and satisfy their needs in ways that do not involve drugs or alcohol.
The facility provides no further information relating to its treatment program; however, reviews submitted to Best-rehabs.com indicate that treatment includes individual and group counseling as well as good but unspecified exercise, leisure, and holistic options.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
According to the facility’s website, all staff members are certified, but the site does not detail their precise credentials. Horizon also holds monthly trainings for its staff, to increase their skills base. The single alum polled by Best-rehabs.com to date gave the center four out of five stars for its staff’s level of training and experience.
ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES
