Breakthru House is a Dekalb County-based intensive recovery residence. For nearly 60 years, the licensed drug abuse treatment program has provided gender-specific comprehensive treatment to women who have struggled with disorders of substance abuse, mental illness, poverty, homelessness and trauma. The "Closer Look" team recently visited the Breakthru House campus for an audio documentary. The Breakthru House is currently building two new 6,000 square foot residential homes. This expansion will allow the Breakthru House to help more women and children, expanding its capacity to 46 families. Host Rose Scott talks with executive director BreNita Jackson and “sober sisters,” as they call themselves, Jheri and Christine.
