Goals
Amethyst
Women's Project provides intervention and referral services
to improve and strengthen the lives of addicted women and their
families.
Staffed by caring and trained volunteers, Amethyst Women's Project reaches out to those in need of drug treatment and rehabilitation services and educates on HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, and available treatment.
Once contact has been established with the individual, their needs will be assessed by a credentialed clinician that will make the appropriate referrals to address their needs.
