Organization: Amethyst Recovery Solutions
Location: Twins Cities
Who we are:
Amethyst Recovery Solutions is a Recovery Community Organization that was started by four best friends who wanted to create an ecosystem of people in recovery that prioritizes three simple things: community involvement, human connection, and fun in recovery. We are an innovative, person-centered organization that prides itself on providing a high level of service and care to the individuals we serve.
Since Amethyst Recovery Solutions’ inception, we are grateful to have been a part of Substance Use Disorder recovery based research, technology, events, advocacy, and now peer support-helping to bridge the gap between the clinical and the recovery community. Thus, making recovery from substance use disorder not just possible, but probable.
