Residential ProgramThe Amethyst House Women's and Men's Residential Programs provide transitional housing and supportive services for women and men ages 18 and over with chemical dependency and/or Gambling Addiction. Residents are required to secure a job and become financially secure, attend our Outpatient Treatment Program, and start a support network through attending AA or NA meetings. Our Program Fees are based on a sliding scale. Residents receive weekly case management and learn life skills while in our program. Amethyst House prefers that clients have the first month's rent at time of admission. Clients can enroll, through the criminal justice system, in the Recovery Works program to receive free outpatient services and a discount in their monthly housing fees. Free outpatient services are offered to individuals addressing problem gambling issues. We offer preferential admission for pregnant women and IV drug users. Women can have their dependent children up to the age of 6 living with them at the house (on a case by case basis / space is limited).
