Paisley - Halfway HouseA halfway house is a good option for a recovering drug addict that is looking for additional support once they have completed a drug rehabilitation program. It is a setting 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 live at a halfway house (also known as recovery house or sober living) you will be expected 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. You may be expected to attend meetings and be subjected to random drug tests to confirm your sobriety.
