Top Ranked Drug Rehab Centers In Denton, MD

Amazing friendly staff

Discrimination runs rampant!

This is probably the best long-term residential treatment program in not just the Northern Virginia area, but in the entire country! I learned so much there. The jobs they have you do teach skills that can be transferred to the real world. But they aren't abusive & they have groups & individual counseling that are up to date on the latest information about addiction. The counselors were tough but caring. It felt like a safe place. Sure, there were conflicts among clients but that's to be expected with so many people & you learned how to resolve them. I learned a lot working in the kitchen with the chef (the food was excellent) & I loved working in the wood shop! We did fun things - went bowling, to the movies - we had a slumber party for the women with all the women from all of Fairfax County's alcohol & drug programs, where we stayed up all night with our blankets & pillows on the floor watching movies & eating popcorn & ice cream sundies. You don't know just how good it is until you have experienced other programs. I went through Crossroads in the early 2000's - yes, it was tough, but it was also kind. It was a place that grew you up, like parents would with their kid. I use the skills I learned there today. I live in Seattle now. When moving here I relapsed. I was sent to a detox & 28-day program in Vancouver, WA because there wasn't anything in the Seattle area other than a place that was expensive & didn't take Medicare. I needed long-term treatment - the counselors in Vancouver couldn't find a long-term program in Seattle except for this program based on Charles Dietrich's Synanon. (Charles Dietrich was a nut - look him up). There was only 1 group a week, on Mon. evenings, where they put you in front of everyone & screamed horrible insults at you. It went on until the wee hours of the morning. You worked 8-10 hrs. a day, 6 days a week, in their car detailing business, for free, with only a 20 min. lunch break, eating stale, moldy sandwiches. Because it was a "treatment center" it wasn't controlled by Labor & Industries. It was cold, you had rubber boots with holes in them. When you got "home" you had to work at your job there (kitchen, laundry, cleaning, etc) until bedtime. Sunday's you had a break where you could watch TV unless you'd been yelled at on Monday's group, then you had to work constantly (kitchen or deep cleaning). There was mold everywhere. I was sick with a respiratory infection the whole time I was there. After 3 months I was suicidal & when sent to the doctor for a TB test the doctor was horrified at my physical & mental condition & put me in a psychiatric hospital. The program was investigated by the Health Dept. & was closed down. The counselors didn't have the degrees they claimed to have & they found misappropriation of funds - they were making a killing off the car detailing place with the free labor. The psychiatric hospital I was sent to couldn't find a dual-diagnosis program in Washington for me so I was sent to Idaho to a hospital program there. This area is like a waste land for treatment. Seattle, with its huge drug problem, doesn't even have a detox center. Fairfax Co. Alcohol & Drug Services has inpatient programs for every need - a 90 day program, dual-diagnosis, adolescent, women, long-term, in the jail - & that was years ago. You are lucky to get to go to Crossroads. Growing up is hard, but necessary. BTW, Jesse Stein is not my real name - it's Linda Bush - & even though I relapsed, I carry with me all that I learned in Crossroads & am forever grateful to them.

I will rate Chrysalis House based on when I was there and when it was being ran by different staff and Mrs Carisaa was there. Other than that I can not speak for the program after Mrs. Carissa left. When I was there it was tough but it is what i needed. I have never been to a program that actually cared and literally internally got to me dug up some buried issues and I worked on them. Mrs. MELVINA was my counselor, she was amazing. Most of the staff had went through addiction. Mrs Denise was amazzziiinnggg i never felt uncomfortable, leaving my son with them during the day. The whole staff at that time was amazing. Yes, it was very strict, but they did it in a loving way because they did not want us to die. I know countless women That graduated the Chrysalis House and are still clean. I have ten fifteen, close lifelong friends that I had met at Chrysalis and that are still clean to this day. I have never went to a treatment that had this much success. Like I said, I cannot speak for the new staff, but it sounds like it is still a great program.While I was there and before I left, they were building on the new addition which was beautiful.It was finished before I left but was not open yet. A woman and children's program is needed and I hope that this one is ran as good as it was when I was there.I'm sure it is. I felt so safe with my children. I'll forever be grateful for Mrs. Carissa and all the staff.

I was someone who stayed here for so time almost a year. I know you can't please everyone but they did try to. Most of the residential staff was wonderful very attentive to the clients needs. The two that I felt that went beyond their job was Simone and Melissa I felt very safe and comfortable w them and they are some of the most compassionate, caring staff I have come across I truly believe they are at their job not only for a paycheck but to help. Thank you to all the residential staff. The clinical team here is beyond amazing I am actually lost for words how much the team does. They are all very passionate about their job and they make u feel welcomed and safe . I honestly believe if you are willing to chose recovery Chrysalis House will and can help 💯

From the moment I got on the phone with them, I felt like someone actually heard me . They didn’t push me or judge me—just straight up helped me figure out what I needed. The place had a super chill energy, kind of like a breath of fresh air after all the chaos I’d been through .What hit different was the way they blended structure with real understanding. It wasn’t just "do this, follow that"—they actually asked what worked for me. Big win. I got my head clear, my heart a little lighter, and finally feel like I’m not stuck anymore 🎧.
