What expansion of services has Maryhaven undertaken to meet community needs?
The year 2018 marks Maryhaven’s 65thyear of helping people restore their Lives.
Mary’s Haven, as it was originally named, began as a service of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd in 1953. The Sisters were asked by Bishop Michael J. Ready of the Diocese of Columbus to create a home for women struggling with alcohol addiction. Today we are Central Ohio’s largest and most comprehensive behavioral health and addiction treatment center. Maryhaven has many facilities serving patients in Franklin, Union, Delaware, Marion, Morrow and Crawford Counties.
• More than 11,000 men, women and youths received care from Maryhaven during 2017. This represents an 18% increase over the previous year.
• Thirty-six support and treatment programs now provide services at eight locations
• Residential adolescent services increased by more than 60% in the past
two years.
• Waiting time for client access to treatment significantly decreased in the
past year.
• Mental health treatment services increased by 52% in 2016-2017.
• An Eastside Women’s Center’s provides residential treatment for 30 to 120 days. Women are the fastest growing population of drug users. Between 2010 and 2013, women’s rate of heroin overdoses tripled.
In its sixth decade, Maryhaven is nationally accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and certified by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services. Maryhaven meets the Ohio Association of Non Profit Organization’s Standards for Excellence in Nonprofit Management and is an affiliate agency of the United Ways of Delaware, Morrow, and Union Counties.
What do you think differentiates you from your competitors?
“We are always looking to the future. We are shaping how people access treatment through technology and innovation- all the while being Central Ohio’s oldest and most comprehensive behavioral health provider.” Shawn D. Holt
Maryhaven has taken a leadership role in creating new treatment programs to help address this community-wide opioid epidemic. In June 2017, Holt realized it was going to take more beds and emergency treatment facilities to seriously fight the growing drug problem. Ohio is one of 5 states with the highest rate of drug abuse, overdoses and drug-related deaths. In January, 2018 the Maryhaven Addiction Stabilization Center (MASC) opened with 55 beds.
The treatment center is a unique model for immediate and effective treatment:
• The triage unit on the South side of Columbus is open round-the-clock
seven days a week .
• The center’s goal is to medically stabilize, then link women and men 18 years of age or older who have recently overdosed to long-term treatment opportunities.
• Twenty detox and thirty residential beds provide immediate and interim treatment opportunities.
In the first five months MASC served over 500 patients with 87% expressing an interest in some form of treatment.
What makes Columbus such a great place to do business?
Columbus Cares! Columbus is a community that cares, collaborates and works together to make our city a better place to live. The collaboration to create Maryhaven’s Addiction Stabilization Center is a prime example. Conceived in June 2017and opened just 7 months later on January 19, 2018, the 55 bed stabilization center is the first of its kind in the country.
Maryhaven’s CEO, Shawn D Holt, partnered with the ADAMH Board of Franklin County, the City of Columbus, the Columbus Divisions of Police and Fire, the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office as well as local hospitals and area providers to establish a community-wide network that would ensure high-risk opiate users receive immediate and ongoing treatment at the Addiction Stabilization Center.
The $1.6 million dollar capital expense for Maryhaven’s Addiction Stabilization Center was quickly secured from the ADAMH Board of Franklin County, the Osteopathic Heritage Foundations, The Columbus Foundation, Nationwide and the Ingram White Castle Foundation. Contributors were keenly aware of the necessity to provide a life-saving stabilization facility in Columbus and to prevent more drug-overdose deaths.
Most communities just talk about what they are going to do. The Columbus community made it happen! Together, community entities created 105 new jobs for Ohioans, freed up the hospitals to be able to serve those with medical illnesses and ensured that high-risk opiate users receive immediate access to ongoing treatment at an innovative addiction stabilization facility.
The aforementioned organizations continue to collaborate, meet regularly, review processes and evaluate the effectiveness of the center in order to improve the services and outcomes at Maryhaven’s Addiction Stabilization Center.
What are the Columbus Chamber’s services you are looking forward to using the most?
The Columbus Chamber of Commerce is a wealth of benefits and resources, all of which are very valuable. Maryhaven looks forward to collaborating with the Chamber of Commerce, and its members, in addressing the needs of Columbus residents and businesses in finding educational and promotional opportunities to make the city a better and safer place to live and work.
