A halfway house, sometimes called a recovery house or sober living facility, is a facility which allows an individual who is just getting over addiction to live in an environment which will help them re-acclimate to the real world as an abstinent individual that intends on leading a healthy and productive life. After alcohol and drug rehab, it is often necessary for persons to reside in a halfway house so they may partake in further counseling and therapy services while also obtaining work and a place to live so that they can have everything in their life geared towards success and abstinence. A halfway house is a way to reduce the risk of falling back into drug use, and offers persons in St. Jo who are recovering from addiction the opportunity to make a real life for themselves.
