Since 1984, Amethyst has been a central Ohio leader in long-term, gender-competent addiction and trauma treatment for homeless women and their families. Amethysts 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. Amethyst is one of the only long-term addiction treatment programs in the country which allows children to reside with their mothers while in recovery ensuring the generational cycle of addiction stops here. 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! Shoe Lovers Care is DSWs philanthropic platform and their Leave Your Mark program has nominated Amethyst as a finalist for a $75,000 grant given annually to a deserving non-profit organization. Amethyst is a nationally recognized leader in change and reuniting families and we appreciate DSW and all who support what we do.
