UNIQUELY SPECIALIZED CARE BY WOMEN, FOR WOMEN: Chrysalis has pioneered holistic bed-based programs for women, including trans women, based on a core acknowledgement of the complexities between women’s addiction and their experiences of – and/or their vulnerability to – cycles of violence, poverty, homelessness and exploitation.
