 Why Amethyst?

Picture
In mythology, the rich, purple, semi-precious amethyst stone was called "Without Intoxication". The Greeks believed the stone would prevent people from getting intoxicated. Today, the stone is popular to people recovering and healing from addictions.
Our History
Amethyst House was founded in August of 1980 as "Ray of Love." The founders were a group of concerned recovering community members that were aware of the need for safe housing for individuals beginning the recovery process from alcohol and other drugs. The name was changed to Amethyst House, Inc. in 1989. Outpatient Services were added in 2000 in Bloomington and in 2001 in Evansville, IN. The Evansville location closed in the end of February, 2012, but Amethyst continues to provide services in the community through Counseling For Change, located at 1133 Lincoln Ave, Evansville, IN 47714 (phone: 812-491-2615).

We raised $9,250 for our Women's House!
​
On June 1st our Spring campaign Let's Paint, closed, surpassing our fundraising goal by over $1,000!

Since opening the Women’s House in 2000, Amethyst has provided a safe place for hundreds of women beginning or continuing their recovery. At this residence, we are also able to house women with their children, a unique option that most residential centers cannot offer. With room for up to 14 women and 4 children, Amethyst offers an affordable option for sober, supportive communal living with individualized treatment planning.

​The house has needed painting for some time while other essential maintenance and repairs have been prioritized. We were able to get one side painted last year and now can begin finishing the rest of the home. We are very excited, and will share pictures soon! 

​By donating to Amethyst House, you support:
  • A continuum of care for those struggling with substance-use disorders
  • Individualized, person-centered treatment plans
  • A strong alumni community fighting for life-long recovery
