Amethyst House, Inc., is a Bloomington, IN based not-for-profit United Way agency that provides residential and outpatient services for people with drug and alcohol addiction, with additional outpatient services in Evansville through Counseling for Change. Founded in August 1980 as 'Ray of Love' by concerned recovering community members to offer safe housing for those beginning recovery, it was renamed Amethyst House in 1989 and expanded outpatient services in 2000. Amethyst House provides a foundation for recovery by partnering with individuals, families, and communities impacted by substance-use disorders, offering high-quality residential and outpatient treatment services and guidance for healthy living. Its vision is to promote a world where recovery services are accessible to all, the stigma of addiction is eliminated, and life-long recovery is a reality. The organization conducts its business with a client-focused and evidence-based approach, an inclusive and trauma-informed atmosphere, respect in all interactions, recognition of addiction as a disease, full accessibility to services, acceptance of challenging cases, emphasis on personal accountability and integrity, continuous improvement, and paramount hope and compassion. Services include ASAM 3.1 sub-acute residential programs for men (17 beds) and women (14 beds, allowing dependent children up to age 6 on a case-by-case basis), intensive outpatient treatment, individual, group, and family therapy, assessments, case management, and referrals, with preferential admission for pregnant women and IV drug users. Accredited by the Commission for Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and certified by the Division of Mental Health and Addictions, Amethyst House embraces diversity and fosters an inclusive environment where everyone is valued regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, or identity, supporting long-term recovery through peer support via its Alumni Association.
