About this Recovery House

Bridges of Hope Louisville is a certified men's sober living home in Stapleton, Georgia, in Jefferson County, whose county seat is Louisville.

A Men's Recovery Home in the Jefferson County Countryside

Stapleton is a small farming town in the eastern half of Middle Georgia, a short drive from Louisville and roughly forty miles southwest of Augusta. The house takes its name from the county seat it serves. Rural placement is part of how this operator works: its residences sit on country properties where daily work and life skills training fill the schedule, and the isolation from a former routine is treated as an asset instead of an inconvenience.

What Level III Type S Certification Means Here

Level III Type S is the supervised tier in the certification scale used by GARR, Georgia's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. It signals staff oversight and a formal program built into the residence, above the peer-managed model that most sober living uses. Because Georgia does not license recovery residences at all, certification is the only external standard a family can check, and it commits the house to a code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules, a written relapse and discharge policy, and outside complaint review.

Cost, Admission and Who the Program Fits

The published fee is $900 per month. The program is twelve step based and residential, and it screens out anyone needing medical detox, anyone requiring clinical management of a co-occurring condition and anyone with a history of violence. Residents must be at least eighteen. A man coming out of detox or a residential program who is physically able to work a full day, and who wants structure supplied for him, is the fit.

Recovery Housing in Jefferson County and the Augusta Corridor

Louisville was the third capital of Georgia and remains the seat of Jefferson County, holding the courthouse and county offices about ten miles from Stapleton. Augusta supplies the region's hospitals, outpatient care and largest job market, and Swainsboro and Waynesboro sit within easy reach. Certified recovery housing is uncommon in this part of the state, so a supervised men's residence here serves several counties at once.
