Breaking the cycle of addiction, poverty and violence
Long-term, alcohol and drug treatment
We offer drug and alcohol treatment with individual treatment plans, weekly counseling, weekly individual case management, and five self-help support meetings a week. We expect that women will benefit from at least two years of supportive services.
Counseling to heal from the trauma of abuse
Our program model addresses issues that sabotage recovery and attempts at independence, such as the trauma of physical and sexual abuse, attachments to unhealthy interpersonal relationships, grief and loss issues, limited education and job skills or experience.
Economic independence
While women participate in the alcohol and drug treatment program, they live in Amethyst’s community of recovery and peer support. Creating a stable, drug-free environment helps the women to build a sober support network plan. Amethyst provides family counseling and counseling for the children that helps heal families from the effects of addiction. About Us
Amethyst is a place where women succeed in recovery.
For more than 25 years, Amethyst has been a Central Ohio leader in long-term, gender-competent addiction and trauma treatment for homeless women and their families.
Our highly successful treatment program helps women transition back into society. Women leave Amethyst as healthy, productive citizens who work, further their education, raise children, buy homes and experience the joys in life that many of us take for granted.
The success of our women is largely a result of the phenomenal strength and courage it takes to enter into treatment at Amethyst. We fortify each woman’s courage by stabilizing our clients in permanent supportive housing and by providing treatment for them and their children.
The Amethyst treatment model allows families to become part of a living, healing community. The average length of stay for Amethyst’s women and their families is 23 months, giving them the time it takes to heal from the disease of addiction—which is why so many of our women are successful in their sobriety!
