Nonprofit addiction treatment and reentry programs

Amity Foundation is a nonprofit that runs addiction treatment, housing, education and job programs for people affected by incarceration and addiction in California and Arizona. Its residential and prison programs work as teaching and therapeutic communities, where participants, called students, recover by living and learning together. Counselors treat substance use inside California state prisons in partnership with the state, and campuses in Los Angeles, Vista and Tucson offer residential treatment and housing. Government grants fund most of its work, and it also administers Los Angeles County grants for groups offering alternatives to incarceration. Amity traces its roots to 1969 in Tucson, Arizona, where it is headquartered.
