Alternative Housing - Transitional Living

A halfway house is a transitional living facility where an individual who is recovering from alcohol or drug addiction can find support and re-adjust to life and society. A halfway house is a place where someone can feel secure and repair their life while recovering from addiction while also take part in activities which will help them do just that. Halfway houses supply an ideal opportunity for individuals to be in an environment where they can acquire further counseling and different types of therapy while also learning new trades or discovering stable employment so that they can support a healthy and productive, drug-free life.
