Breakthru House, Inc., is a member of the Action Ministries family of ministries. Action Ministries, Inc. is an independent, faith-based, Georgia non-profit corporation with roots in the United Methodist Church. As the first long-term residential recovery program for women in Georgia, Breakthru House is designed to meet the unique needs of women struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. Utilizing the 12 Steps and a Therapeutic Community, Breakthru House provides a safe, structured drug free environment to foster a life of recovery while therapeutically addressing addiction as a disease, unresolved grief, trauma, and poor self-esteem issues commonly associated with female addicts. Since its founding in 1969, Breakthru House's founding principle remains constant: physical, emotional, and spiritual healing through recovery is possible when each woman's treatment program is designed to meet their individual needs.

Alumni Picnic

On May 14th, Breakthru House held its annual Alumni Picnic. Clients, board members, volunteers, and alumni gathered on our campus to celebrate Breakthru House and how their lives have been impacted through it.




 The shared time began with a celebration moment for the life of Laura Z., a Breakthru House board member and long-time volunteer who was instrumental in establishing our weekly Big Book volunteer group. 



There was good food, fellowship, volleyball, and even some hula hooping! At Breakthru House, we are so grateful for all of our supporters, but especially for our Alumni who remain actively connected with Breakthru House, and can provide a living, breathing example to our current clients of a changed life that is possible through treatment at Breakthru.



Thank you volunteers, supporters, and Alumni!!
