Chrysalis is a leading Community Drug Project serving the North Inner City funded through the NICDATF/HSE.

It has been in existence for the last 25 years. We offer a range of therapeutic interventions to individuals in the Inner City who are experiencing difficulties in relation to addiction and related issues such as dual diagnosis, physical health, homelessness, and domestic violence. We support service users from early recovery to aftercare through the continuum of care. Chrysalis engages service users from low-threshold to high-threshold activities.

It is supported by a highly trained and skilled team of key workers, case managers, and therapists.
