It is a place where they can be surrounded by like-minded persons who are in recovery from drug or alcohol addiction. When you choose to reside at a halfway house (also known as sober living or recovery house) you will be expected to maintain your sobriety.

You may be expected to attend meetings and be subjected to random drug tests to confirm your sobriety.
