I've put quite a lot of effort into writing this blog. I hope it's been helpful. Judging by your visits, it has. This blog has nearly 12,000 total hits now, with an average of over 30 hits a day. Obviously, many of you have gone through what I did and are likely as infuriated as I was.
I've also contacted several government officials and legislators, as well as civil rights organizations. I've done all I can: now it's your turn. Change will not happen unless you make your voice heard. Only by voicing your complaints will Amethyst Foundation, Inc. be held accountable. Your silence will assure that they continue to abuse their power with impunity, and that others will suffer.
These are the people you should send your complaints to:
Governor Margaret Wood Hassan
Office of the Governor
State House
107 North Main Street
Concord, NH 03301
(603)271-2121 (phone)
(603)271-7640 (fax)
Email: governorhassan@nh.gov
Director Joseph P. Harding
State of NH Department of Health and Human Services
Division of Community Based Care Services
Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Services
105 Pleasant Street
Concord, NH 03301
(603)271-6110 (phone)
(603)271-6105 (fax)
Email: jharding@dhhs.state.nh.us
Don't bother sending your complaints to Amethyst or the Department of Safety--they will not care.
If you don't complain, nothing will be done. Amethyst Foundation's abuses will continue. And, believe me, both former Governor Lynch and Director Harding are aware of these abuses. In fact, they've had to step in before to stop them. I contacted them and got my license reinstated within two weeks (Amethyst was trying to permanently revoke it, even after I had successfully completed all of my assigned aftercare.)
I'll maintain this blog with updates. In the meanwhile, good luck to all of you.
