Amethyst Expands

Almost two years ago, Amethyst was fortunate enough to announce the expansion our housing to include a beautiful three story apartment building, located on the historic Jefferson Avenue.

Now in 2011, we have the pleasure to announce that we will be expanding both our housing and treatment capacity again. Even with a 27% increase in capacity over the past year, we have growing demand and wait for our program. This spring, we are opening additional treatment space on East Mound Street (across from our current offices) and are planning additional sober housing capacity, too.

Amethyst recently received a grant from SAMHSA (The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) that will partially support this treatment expansion.

Special thanks to our partners King Business Interiors and Kroger who have both committed to helping furnish this new space and to all community members and donors who continue to support our efforts!

If you are a member of a group or organization that would like to furnish an apartment, contact Nanon, Development Director.

    Without Amethyst, I would not be where I am today.
