Alvis Beacon: Celebrating recovery that turns lives around

180 Degree Impact:

Celebrating recovery that turns lives around

Alvis recently celebrated major milestones at two of our Integrated Behavioral Healthcare Programs.

At Amethyst, an Alvis Recovery program, a graduation celebration was held for 12 ladies who completed all five phases of the program. More than 100 family members, friends and staff joined in the festivities which were graciously hosted at The Columbus Foundation. The event is also a celebration of the Amethyst program's more than 30 year history of providing high quality, effective gender-specific behavioral healthcare services to women and their children.

Earlier in July, the P.O.W.E.R. program celebrated its third anniversary. This medication-assisted treatment program provides treatment, counseling and workforce development services for individuals with justice involvement and opiate addiction. The program is a partnership between Alvis, Franklin County Court of Common Pleas and The Ohio State University's Talbot Hall program. During its first three years, nearly 300 people have received treatment services through the the P.O.W.E.R. program.
