Halfway House

A halfway house is a location which allows for a smooth transition if somebody is newly sober independently or has finished a drug rehabilitation facility and requires help re-acclimating to a regular lifestyle. Residing in a halfway house, or sober living facility as they are sometimes called, is part of sentencing if a person has been found guilty of drug charges as well. If guidance is needed locating a halfway house, contact an alcohol and drug treatment facility and meet with a treatment counselor who can point you in the right direction.
