A halfway house, also known as a recovery house or sober living facility, is a facility which allows an individual who is recovering from addiction to be in an environment that helps them re-acclimate to the real world as a sober person that intends on leading a healthy and productive life. After drug rehab, it is sometimes necessary for individuals to live in a halfway house where they can partake in more counseling and therapy services while at the same time obtaining work and housing so that they can have all logistics in their life geared towards success and sobriety. A halfway house is sometimes the key to decrease the threat of falling back into drug use, and gives individuals in Avalon who are recovering from addiction the opportunity to build a real life for themselves.
