Helping Men and Women Overcome Addiction Since 1986
For families and friends, watching a loved one battle addiction is heartbreaking. Substance abuse often leads to the loss of jobs, relationships, freedom, financial stability, and self-respect. Some individuals reach their “rock bottom” before accepting help; others seek recovery when they’re simply ready to try something—sometimes anything—different.
At Bridges of Hope, we believe that with the right support, guidance, and a proven program of recovery, the sick and suffering can begin a new life of sobriety. Our foundation is built on the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous—fellowship, prayer, and spiritual growth—helping people break free from alcohol and drug addiction.
Our Story
On December 23, 1986, a small group of men with a shared vision purchased a modest farmhouse in Argyle, Georgia (Clinch County). Their goal was simple but profound: create a safe, structured environment for recovery—thus, Bridges of Hope was born.
Community leaders, many in recovery themselves, joined together to form the Bridges of Hope Charitable Trust. Local residents donated materials, services, and funds to renovate the aging farm, and by January 1987, our first residents arrived.
What began as a 16-bed farmhouse grew rapidly. We built a dormitory, functional buildings, and expanded to a 52-bed facility. Residents contributed through community service work, quickly becoming a respected part of the local area. By 1992, CNN featured Bridges of Hope in a three-part national documentary, “Across America with Larry Woods,” giving us even greater visibility.
Our Growth Across Georgia
Today, Bridges of Hope operates four residential recovery centers—three for men and one for women—offering long-term, faith-based addiction recovery in serene, rural settings.
