A halfway house, sometimes called a recovery house or sober living facility, is a type of center or home which permits a person who is recovering from addiction to be in an environment that helps them re-enter the real world as a drug free person who wants to lead a healthy and productive life. After drug and alcohol rehabilitation, it is sometimes necessary for people to reside in a halfway house so they may take part in additional counseling and therapy solutions while also finding employment and a place to live so that they can have everything in their lives set up for success and abstinence. A halfway house is a way to minimize the threat of falling back into drug use, and offers people in Monument who are just getting over addiction the opportunity to make a happier life for themselves.
