Tubman: Tubman Chrysalis Center

Tubman Chrysalis Center is a community organization offering a variety of services such as mental health support, addiction treatment, and counseling in the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota. They also have community education, legal services and other wraparound services. To address addiction, you’ll be able to access a relapse prevention support group and medication assisted treatment (MAT) here.

Tubman provides chemical assessments for people who need it to get public funding for addiction treatment. The relapse support group is for women in recovery from substance use. This is a 12-week group facilitated by professionals that provides ongoing recovery support.

The group uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). The clinical support does not include 12-step meetings but you’ll be encouraged to attend those during your own time. I like that they use a person-centered and trauma-informed approach to addiction care. Medication management is provided by an on-site psychiatrist.

If you’re focused on mental health then Tubman offers several groups that focus on healthy relationships and relationship violence. One thing I appreciate about this organization is that they also offer a free weekly support group called Melissa’s Connections. This is not considered a psychotherapy group but a place to land and receive some extra support. Some groups are offered virtually while others are in person.

A previous client said she had received help from Tubman Chrysalis Center for several different issues in her life and every time they were caring and kind. Another person said she loves the communication and connection she gets from her therapist.
