Alternative Housing - Transitional Living

A halfway house is a transitional living facility where a person who is trying to recover from drug or alcohol addiction can stabilize and re-adjust to life and society. A halfway house is a location where someone can feel safe and repair their life while maintaining sobriety while also take part in activities which will help them do just that. Halfway houses supply the perfect opportunity for recovering addicts to be in a setting where they can receive additional counseling and different types of therapy while also learning new trades or finding stable employment so that they can support a healthy and productive, drug-free life.
