About this Recovery House
Chrysalis House is a women's recovery residence on Crownsville Road in Crownsville, Maryland. It sits in Anne Arundel County, in Central Maryland, a few miles northwest of Annapolis and inside the belt of woodland between the state capital and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.
A Women's Recovery Home in Crownsville
Women aged eighteen and over live on the Crownsville campus in a recovery facility the organization has renovated. Residents come with children, pregnant, or on their own, and all three are accepted, which is the fact that separates this house from almost every other option in the county. A woman who has to choose between treatment and keeping her children usually chooses her children and goes without care. Here she does not have to choose.
Recovery Housing for Mothers and Children
Beyond the main campus, the organization runs community-based housing for women who are pregnant or have a child under three, and supportive group housing for mothers and children who are in its intensive outpatient program. Housing that accommodates children carries real operational weight: bedrooms have to be configured for families, schedules have to bend around school and daycare, and staff have to understand child welfare as well as substance use. Few recovery residences in Maryland are built for it.
Treatment and Sober Living on One Campus
Residents live where they are treated. The organization runs residential treatment, an intensive outpatient program and a standard outpatient program, so a woman can step down through levels of care without changing her address, her clinician or the people she eats dinner with. Continuity like that is the single most common failure point in recovery, and collapsing it onto one site removes a handoff that loses people every year.
Accreditation Behind This Recovery Housing Provider
Chrysalis House is accredited by CARF and is a member of the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers, and it operates as a Maryland nonprofit. CARF accreditation involves an external survey of governance, clinical practice, resident rights and outcomes, renewed on a cycle. For a family evaluating a residential program from a distance, that public record is what distinguishes an accredited provider from an unregulated house renting rooms.
Recovery Homes Near Annapolis and the Bay
Crownsville sits between Annapolis and the Severn River, close to the Anne Arundel County seat and the state government offices that fill it. Anne Arundel Medical Center, the county health department, the circuit court and the county's outpatient network are all within a short drive, and US-50 runs east across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and west toward Washington. Baltimore is about half an hour north. A woman rebuilding a life from this address can reach a court date, a clinic appointment and a job interview in the same day.
Sober living homes are group residences for people who are recovering from addiction. In most instances, people who live in sober homes have to follow certain house rules and contribute to the home by doing chores. Most importantly, residents must stay sober throughout their stay in the home.
Recovery is an ongoing journey. We hope to provide you with the necessary tools to maintain that recovery independently with minimal supervision. Remember, recovery from addiction means more than simply eliminating alcohol and drug use. It means changing your LIFESTYLE.
