About Crossroads – Amethyst House – New Haven
As part of APT Foundation, Amethyst House is a residential treatment program for mothers with young children based in New Haven, Connecticut. Residents here can enjoy accredited addiction treatment and coordinated support for substance abuse.
Women here can safely find shelter and support here for themselves and their little ones as they work through the tough business of overcoming addiction and substance abuse issues. This way, women can receive the care they need, while their young children need not be separated from their mothers. It’s also cool that the Hilltop Playground is only a couple of blocks away.
Treatment here focuses on promoting a healthy family dynamic, and positive social interaction without the use of addictive chemicals or substances. Residents benefit from wraparound care and community support services, like parenting groups and sessions focusing on building motivational skills.
This facility features 170 beds, all divided across three separate programs. One is the men’s program, one is the women’s program, and then there’s Amethyst House’s specialized residential program for women and children. Residents can expect integrated psychological and medical care, including primary care services, mental and behavioral health counseling, medication-assisted treatment, and specialized addiction treatment.
Vocational support is also offered to help residents get back on their feet and easily find steady work following their time inpatient.
The focus is very much on helping program participants identify and change their negative behavioral patterns, so they can reduce their substance misuse, and ultimately overcome their addiction.
