Breaking the cycle of addiction, poverty and violence for women and their children.
We offer drug and alcohol treatment with individual treatment plans, weekly counseling, weekly individual case management, and five self-help support meetings a week. We expect that women will benefit from at least two years of supportive services.
Our program model addresses issues that sabotage recovery and attempts at independence, such as the trauma of physical and sexual abuse, attachments to unhealthy interpersonal relationships, grief and loss issues, limited education and job skills or experience.
While women participate in the alcohol and drug treatment program, they live in Amethyst’s community of recovery and peer support. Creating a stable, drug-free environment helps the women to build a sober support network.
We provide opportunities from volunteering, learning how to manage paychecks and GED attainment to higher education, employment and beginning a career.
We encourage the children of our clients to live with their mothers in our supportive housing and be a part of the treatment plan. Amethyst provides family counseling and counseling for the children that helps heal families from the effects of addiction.
