About Us
Our Vision: Restoring Families
Ruth House Ministries is a Christ-centered, long term, residential recovery program for women addicted to or abusing drugs or alcohol. Our program provides a platform for the regeneration of substance abusers and their families who meet the entrance criteria. Organized in 2008 to combat the ravages of drugs and alcohol in North Georgia, the Ruth House is blessed to have seen tremendous changes in the lives of women and their families.
Ruth House Ministries is a non-denominational, non-profit, tax exempt, 501 (c)(3) corporation.
Our Program
The Ruth House Program is composed of five phases designed to be completed in a one year residency at the Ruth House campus in Ranger, GA. It is a Christ-centered program with full days of life skills classes, campus chores, recovery assignments, community service, mentoring, and employment in the later phases. We are a nicotine-free program with no smoking, vaping or using any natural or synthetic substances on or off site.
The program is voluntary and THOR approved and GARR Accredited and will accept mandated candidates.
