Amethyst House - Men's House

Amethyst House is a small not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing treatment and supportive services for individuals ages 18 and over struggling with chemical dependency in Bloomington, Indiana. Operating two ASAM 3.1 sub-acute residential treatment facilities—a men's program serving 17 men and a women's program serving 14 women along with their dependent children up to age 6 on a case-by-case basis—we offer a comprehensive approach that includes residential living in historic homes, where residents secure employment, attend outpatient treatment, build support networks through AA or NA meetings, and receive weekly case management and life skills training. Our outpatient program provides intensive outpatient treatment, individual, group, and family therapy, assessments, case management, and referral services using evidence-based practices such as Motivational Interviewing, Stages of Change Theory, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, following SAMHSA and DMHA guidelines, with small groups of 8-10 participants and a focus on co-occurring disorders, trauma, and family support. We prioritize admissions for pregnant women and IV drug users, embrace diversity to foster an inclusive environment where everyone is valued regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, or identity, and accept various insurances including Medicaid on a sliding fee scale to ensure accessibility for the underserved. With a committed team of 15 full-time and 14 part-time staff, including licensed addiction and mental health counselors, and a seven-member board of directors, Amethyst House works as a professional yet supportive team to help clients achieve long-term recovery goals, restore relationships, and reintegrate into the community.
