Halfway House - WhitingA halfway house is a good option for a recovering drug addict that is looking for additional support once they have completed a drug treatment program. It is a setting 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 required to maintain your sobriety. It is common that there will be additional rules that you will need to adhere to in order to maintain your residence at the halfway house. You may be expected to attend meetings and be subjected to random drug tests to confirm your continued abstinence.
