Halfway House - SeasideA halfway house is a good option for a recovering drug addict that is searching for additional support once they have finished a drug treatment program. It is a place where they can be surrounded by like-minded persons who are in recovery from drug or alcohol addiction. When you choose to live at a halfway house (also known as sober living or recovery house) you will be expected 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.
