Free Gambling Addiction Counseling

Amethyst House provides dedicated counseling for problem and pathological gambling, and per state guidelines, it's free counseling.

This is uncommon among outpatient centers in the Bloomington area, where gambling services are often absent or folded into general addiction treatment without a distinct track.

Amethyst House in Bloomington addresses gambling as a primary clinical issue rather than an afterthought.

Intake and Priority Admission

Intake at Amethyst House is more structured than a typical walk in outpatient clinic. Clients must be clean and sober for a minimum of two weeks before starting outpatient treatment.

The process begins with a paid clinical assessment to determine the appropriate level of care, whether that is IOP, a treatment group or the early recovery group.

The agency also gives priority admission to pregnant women and IV drug users across its programs, reflecting an intake philosophy that fast-tracks those at highest risk.

For a pregnant woman seeking treatment in Bloomington, this policy can mean the difference between waiting weeks and being seen quickly.

Amethyst House serves Monroe County and the greater Bloomington area.

This agency accepts Medicaid and private insurance, with a sliding fee scale and state subsidized funding for income eligible clients without coverage.
