Breaking the cycle of addiction, poverty and violence

 

Long-term, alcohol and drug treatment

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.

Counseling to heal from the trauma of abuse

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.

Economic independence

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 plan. Amethyst provides family counseling and counseling for the children that helps heal families from the effects of addiction.
