Halfway House - TinnieA halfway house is an excellent option for a recovering drug addict that is searching for additional support once they have finished a drug rehab program. It is an atmosphere where they can be surrounded by like-minded persons who are going through the same experience they are, recovering 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 required to maintain your sobriety. It is common that there will be additional rules and guidelines that you will need to adhere to in order to maintain your residence at the halfway house.
