"CHHS changed my life in many ways. Chrysalis House to me is where I found my sisters, my friends. It is where I found myself. They didn't teach me to get clean I learned a new life there. I learned the social skills that I didn't have without drugs and alcohol. The program also taught me how to accept responsibility for my actions. Every action has a reaction.

 

While I was there I never really realized the opportunity that I was given, but now I realize how blessed I am to have had that opportunity to be a part of something as great as CHHS. I will never forget my time there. I cherish it dearly now."
