Levels of Care

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatment

Mental Health

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Clinical Services

Experiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Our child attended Chrysalis for 17 months. That period of time was one of incredible transformation. The wrap around therapeutic work, adventure programming and supportive, engaging academics were exactly what our child needed. The family work was also instrumental in creating positive, lasting changes for our child and our entire family system evolved. The positive and lasting results changed the trajectory of our child s life. As a family we continue to use the skills we learned at Chrysalis two years after graduating from the program.

Our 15-year-old daughter was at Chrysalis from August 23 through June 24. She and we were very well supported by her two therapists Ellen Barta and Amy Durden and our daughter made tremendous progress throughout her stay. We can highly recommend both therapists, although Ellen has moved on from Chrysalis to another opportunity. Our daughter also regained her academic confidence at Chrysalis by having the small classroom instruction and a nurturing classroom environment. All the teachers were great, and she especially enjoyed working on her English skills with Darla. She also had great relationships with other team members such as Kendra (residential staff), Amy E. (transportation, etc.) and Morgan B. (adventure). Krysten Fitzsimmons (academic director) was very helpful in helping us prepare for our daughter s next school choice and insurance related issues. Chrysalis was the right place for our daughter and we can recommend it without reservation.

We were very thankful for our experience with Chrysalis. Our daughter was able to engage in the program which gave her the tools to thrive when introduced back to a traditional school experience. While at Chrysalis, she was able to continue her academics and as a result will be graduating from high school on time. The focus on family interactions and therapy has helped us to heal and move forward -- that focus on family gave us the ability to trust one another again. While the program offered her and us stability and the ability to grow, we have to give a special shout out to her therapist, Amy Durden, who not only challenged her, advocated for her and saw her for the amazing person she was, is and will become, but helped us all look at our journey in a positive light. .

My daughter was at Chrysalis School in Montana from July 2023 to March of 2024. My daughter was 16 when she entered the school, and 17 when she graduated. Amy D. was her therapist during her entire stay at Chrysalis. Chrysalis concluded a 26 month treatment program for my daughter. I felt that Chrysalis provided a safe and supportive environment for my daughter. She made the most progress during her stay at Chrysalis within her 26 months of treatment. Amy was excellent and was always available when we needed it. Amy made an excellent connection with my daughter which was critical to her success. My daughter received an excellent academic education while at Chrysalis. All of the teachers were great. Tom and Sally made especially strong bonds with Sofia which generated confidence in Sofia that she had needed in a school setting. Communication was excellent, and the Chrysalis team was willing to work with us when problems occurred with Sofia or students at the school. Family visits to the school during the year were very productive and helped us make significant progress in improving family dynamics with my daughter. This was a terribly difficult process for my daughter and our family to go through, but for our daughter, and our family, it was necessary to save our daughter's life. It was a necessary process to correct and improve the dynamics of how our family functions. The entire team at Chrysalis was committed to being a reliable partner in helping our daughter and our family. The program at Chrysalis was expensive, just as all of these programs are throughout the US. It required sacrifices to be made so that our daughter could complete the program. Although the program was expensive, it was absolutely worth it in the end. Although our daughter has graduated from the program, we all still have things to work on. We likely always will to to some extent. My heart goes out to all families struggling with a child or a family member with mental health issues. If you are considering Chrysalis, look at it very closely. It was life changing for our family. I recommend it without reservations. I also recommend Amy D. without reservations as well.

I can t say enough good things about Chrysalis, especially my daughter s therapist Amy. Is the school perfect? No, absolutely not. I ve yet to experience any school that is without faults. My daughter was there 10 months and made some lifelong friends at school and in the quaint town of Eureka. More importantly, my daughter got the help she needed.

As a former Chrysalis student, I feel it is important to share my experience. While Chrysalis certainly doesn't work for everyone, it saved my life. I learned healthy way of coping with difficult situations and emotions and I made life-long friends. I also picked up new hobbies like rock climbing, playing the ukulele, crocheting and writing. While the academics aren't particularly challenging, the teachers are phenomenal. Most staff are kind and patient with the exception of a few here and there. When I was at Chrysalis sometimes it felt like the end of the world, but once I left I realized how much it helped me. There are often times that I miss the remoteness of it all. If your daughter is struggling to cope emotionally I would definitely look into Chrysalis as an option. Keep in mind, many of these negative reviews were written by people who didn't even attend the program.

I attended chrysalis from May 2020 to June 2021. During my time there, besides the basic awful ways they treated us girls, repetitive shaming, etc. I was groomed by a teacher employed there. Furthermore, I have had to attend multiple other treatment centers after Chrysalis and I am currently in a treatment center doing trauma and PTSD work, much of which has to do with chrysalis. They constantly encouraged girls turning on each other, and every one of my friends I made there says to this day that it did not help them, but made them worse. There was an alumni event that me and all my friends were not notified about, they only keep in touch with people that will speak kindly about their program. This school robs you of your money only to bring further troubles to your child. I hope parents will read this and not be tricked by their false advertising.

We recently had to remove our daughter from the program. After spending 3 months (and 60K) in the program and making wonderful progress, she had a bad week and we were asked to retrieve our daughter within 48 hours, which wasn't easy as we live in Texas!We were assigned a new hire as our family and daughters individual therapist (oh by the way in 3 months she was at the school they had major turn-over, including Executive Director and Director of Admissions - Red Flag). Although she was an older woman she was new to the program. She was very disorganized and had low self-esteem. Our daughter asked for a change several times, but we discouraged it because we didn't want her to dictate the terms. We have come to find out that she was not getting the best therapeutic care. The therapist never set firm boundaries, which our daughter needed. Instead their was too many maybes and mind changes. It was not good for our daughters treatment.Buyer Beware. This is not a place for teens in sever need of therapeutic help. It is highly unstructured. Kids need to be able to function without supervision at times. Make sure it is the right place before you blow 60k and precious time with your child.

I cannot speak highly enough of Chrysalis Therapeutic Boarding School and the incredible leadership of Executive Director Mackenzie Hall and her dedicated team.From the moment you step onto the campus, it's evident that this is a place where lives are changed. If my own daughter were in need of a therapeutic boarding school, I would move heaven and earth to get her to Chrysalis.The clinical expertise and programs offered at Chrysalis are unparalleled. The team's commitment to helping students and families navigate through challenging times is truly remarkable. Every person on campus plays a vital role in creating a supportive environment where students can thrive.What sets Chrysalis apart is its intentional focus on being smaller and more intimate than most other therapeutic boarding schools. This allows for a warm and supportive atmosphere that fosters identity development, self-esteem, and a deep sense of belonging among its students.I highly recommend Chrysalis to anyone seeking a nurturing and effective therapeutic environment for their child. It's not just a school; it's a life-changing experience.

As a resident of Eureka, I've had the privilege of getting to know many of the staff members at Chrysalis, a therapeutic boarding school that combines high school education with talk therapy and adventure therapy. This institution caters to teen girls providing a sanctuary for healing and growth amidst the natural tranquility of Montana.My first impressions were initially cautious, given the troubling history associated with the industry. However, after thorough research and interactions, I am convinced of Chrysalis's commitment to the safety and well-being of its students. The school has flourished, embracing state regulations and advocating for national standards, which underscores their dedication to student protection and care.The staff at Chrysalis, from educators to executive directors, are genuinely passionate about their mission. They prioritize the success and well-being of the students above all else, evident in their comprehensive curriculum that includes academics, physical activities, and time for relaxation. The school s holistic approach to health genuinely exceeded my expectations.The serene setting in a forest by a lake, away from city distractions, provides an ideal environment for students to focus on healing while continuing their education. While the location is remote, this isolation is a strategic benefit, keeping the students safe and focused on their recovery.Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Chrysalis for families seeking a safe, effective, and compassionate environment for their teens to grow and thrive. The school's commitment to student safety, health, and success is a beacon of hope in the therapeutic boarding school industry.
