Chrysalis

Chrysalis is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a variety of programs aimed at helping individuals navigate their recovery process. Their Supported Employment Program is designed to aid those looking for work by offering services such as vocational assessments, job hunting support, on-site training, and continuous assistance. The Vocational Peer Support initiative empowers individuals who have experienced mental health challenges to leverage their recovery journeys to help others reach their employment objectives. Furthermore, the Chrysalis Clubhouse serves as a communal space for individuals facing mental health obstacles to forge connections, pursue educational and job-related aspirations, and facilitate their personal recovery journey. What distinguishes Chrysalis is its focus on intertwining vocational assistance with mental health and addiction recovery, acknowledging the vital impact of meaningful employment on the healing journey. By emphasizing community-oriented job opportunities and peer support, Chrysalis creates a supportive atmosphere where individuals can enhance their skills, build self-esteem, and discover a sense of purpose, all of which are essential elements for lasting recovery.

The rehabilitation center focuses on addressing issues related to substance abuse and mental health challenges. Patients benefit from personalized treatment plans designed specifically for their individual needs and diagnoses. Alongside developing essential recovery skills, individuals have the opportunity to build supportive relationships in a nurturing setting.

Currently, anyone seeking Vocational Peer Supports needs to be enrolled in Medicaid funding via Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) or Community Recovery Services (CRS).
