About this Recovery House
The BreakAway is a women's sober living home at 1514 East Spring Street in New Albany, Indiana, in Floyd County. It offers women struggling with addiction a structured path back to independent living.
A Women's Sober House on East Spring Street
The BreakAway serves women only, describing its mission as giving women with addictions a genuine chance at recovery. East Spring Street sits within New Albany, directly across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky, putting residents close to a large regional job market while staying on the Indiana side of the river.
Recovery Built on Understanding, Not Just Abstinence
The house's program centers on understanding the addiction process itself, alongside practical tools for abstinence and character building. That framing treats recovery as a skill residents build over time, which shapes daily life in the house around education as much as supervision.
Community Partnerships as Part of Recovery
The BreakAway builds community partnerships into its program, reconnecting residents with the wider New Albany community throughout their stay. Graduates go on, in the organization's own words, to lead productive, healthy lives, a marker of the program's focus on reintegration.
