What Amethyst, Inc. does

Amethyst, Inc. is an Ohio-incorporated 501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates long-term outpatient alcohol and drug treatment and supportive housing programs for women and their children in Columbus, Ohio. Its core offering, branded within a therapeutic community model and the Relational Cultural Model, combines intensive outpatient treatment, weekly counseling and case management, five weekly self-help meetings, trauma-informed counseling, permanent supportive housing, and family-centered services (parenting classes, family therapy, family reunification, structured play, after-school drop-in, and the SummerQuest therapeutic summer camp). Adjunct support services include GED preparation, job skills and retention training, mental health treatment, and recently launched financial assistance pages covering education financing and fast cash loans for urgent children's needs. The organization also publishes a children's book, "When Mommy Drinks Drugs," as an external teaching resource.

The business is non-revenue-disclosing and not equity-financed. Operating funds flow through charitable contributions (cash, stocks, household goods), corporate sponsorships (Kraft Heinz, Sysco, Tyson Foods, ASAP Finance, among others), event sponsorships, and grants. Service delivery uses a referral- and walk-in-driven intake system (614-242-1284, with scheduled walk-in hours) and partnerships with employers and other social service organizations for client referrals. Marketing is limited to a website, periodic newsletters, and annual reports distributed through a supporter mailing list.

Amethyst is governed by a Managing Director structure (Sherry Inskeep and Linda Janes), a Director of Development (Paige Sifford Bilotta), and a Development Director (Barbara Roscoe). The organization has operated for over 30 years and, as of 2026, is positioned as a recovery program of Alvis, a larger nonprofit rehabilitation and recovery services organization; Alvis President & CEO Denise M. Robinson sits on the Amethyst Advisory Committee. Operations are concentrated at 527 South High Street and 455 East Mound Street in Columbus, OH, with no disclosed geographic expansion beyond the Columbus market.

Direct peers

• Burning Tree Recovery: Long-term residential addiction treatment provider with a strong reputation for chronic relapse cases. Comparable in long-duration, community-based recovery model and emphasis on sustained support rather than short-term stabilization.
• Maryhaven: Columbus, Ohio-based addiction treatment and behavioral health provider offering residential, outpatient, and recovery housing services. Competes for the same Columbus-area client and referral pool and operates a similar integrated treatment-and-housing model.
• Ashley Addiction Treatment: Maryland-based addiction treatment organization with a longstanding focus on gender-responsive and trauma-informed care for men, women, and young adults. Comparable in offering integrated clinical and recovery housing programming with specialization in co-occurring disorders.
• Alvis: Parent nonprofit providing rehabilitation, recovery, and supportive housing services in Ohio. Most directly comparable to Amethyst as the integrated parent under which Amethyst now operates as a specialized women's recovery program.
• The Meadows Texas: Residential and outpatient addiction and trauma treatment provider. Directly comparable as a specialty behavioral health program addressing addiction with co-occurring trauma, and is also an active training partner to Amethyst.

Broad incumbents

• Caron Treatment Centers: Established nonprofit addiction treatment provider with dedicated women's programming, family services, and recovery housing. Comparable in mission and gender-responsive treatment approach but with multi-region facilities and broader service mix.
• Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation: Large, nationally recognized nonprofit addiction treatment provider offering residential, outpatient, and recovery housing across multiple states. Comparable in clinical model and women's programming but operates at substantially greater scale and geographic breadth.
• The Recovery Village: Multi-location addiction treatment network offering detox, residential, and outpatient services with co-occurring mental health treatment. Comparable in integrated treatment approach but operates at much larger scale across multiple U.S. markets.
