History:



Amethyst House was incorporated 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. The rich, purple, semi-precious amethyst stone was called "Without Intoxication" in mythology. The Greek's believed the stone would prevent people from getting drunk. Today, the stone is popular to people recovering and healing from addictions. We added our Outpatient Services in 2000 in Bloomington and opened our Outpatient office in Evansville in 2001.






Hope is the thing with feathers - that perches in the soul - and sings the tune without words - and never stops - at all. - Emily Dickinson
