For 30 years, Amethyst has had a life-changing impact on one of central Ohio’s most underserved populations – women in substance abuse recovery and their families. Individualized services include both traditional and intensive outpatient treatment for addiction, supportive housing, medical services, mental health and trauma treatment, family services, and job readiness and placement. Our effective treatment model allows clients to live healthy, productive lives.
Person-Centered Philosophy
Amethyst recognizes that women in addiction treatment have unique needs that must be addressed holistically in order for them to heal appropriately. We seek to empower women and their children by helping them build healthy relationships, secure permanent housing and gain economic stability, as all of these factors contribute to a successful and lifelong recovery.
Purpose
Amethyst focuses on single women and reuniting families by offering recovery in an integrated, family-centered environment to give women and children collective hope and opportunity to truly break the cycle of poverty and addiction.
Recovery
Amethyst’s model of care addresses the root causes for addiction in an atmosphere of respect and dignity, where women are encouraged to have a voice, participate in the recovery process and experience true transformation to get and stay sober.
Leading Change
Grounded in honoring our heritage and pioneering heroines, we have broken barriers and set new standards of gender-responsive, trauma-informed treatment that have transformed lives and reformed communities, while advocating tirelessly for women’s issues and eliminating the stigma of addiction.
Amethyst does not offer emergency services. Access to Amethyst services is available following an assessment of need and the appropriate level of care required, or if a referral to another care provider is needed.
