Halfway House - MarquetteA halfway house is an option for a recovering drug addict that is looking for additional support once they have finished a drug rehabilitation program. 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 live at a halfway house (also known as recovery house or sober living) you will be required to maintain your sobriety.
