Welcome to Alternatives Incorporated. Below is a brief listing of the services we offer. If you would like, you can browse our Frequently Asked Questions to see if the information you seek is there. Also, please feel free to contact Alternatives Inc. if you have any questions, concerns, or wish to request services.

Our initial priorities have always been to ensure the family's safety, make medical referrals, enroll the children in school and answer pressing questions linked to security and legal issues. Those priorities will never change. We have expanded our case management services to offer clients an approach to move past their emergency situations and begin the process of mapping a strategy for a future that is free of abuse and homelessness.

Services target the five-county area of Hamilton, Hancock, Henry, Marion and Madison counties. The agency is physically located in Anderson in Madison County. An office is located in Hancock County staffed with an advocate on-call 24 hours a day. Prevail, a non-residential program, offers advocacy and referral in Hamilton County. Safe At Home, another non-residential program, offers similar services in Henry County. Both of these agencies provide referral and transportation to Alternatives when the family violence victim they are serving seeks emergency shelter.

• Emergency shelter (lodging and meals for a maximum of 45 days)
• Transitional Housing (for a maximum of two years)
• 24-Hour crisis call center
• 24-Hour crisis response team
