A halfway house, also known as a recovery house or sober living facility, is a facility which permits an individual who is recovering from addiction to be in an environment that helps them re-acclimate to society as a drug free individual who wants to lead a healthy and productive life. After alcohol and drug rehabilitation, it is sometimes essential for individuals to live in a halfway house where they can take part in additional counseling and therapy services while simultaneously locating work and housing so that they can have everything in their lives set up for success and abstinence. A halfway house is a way to reduce the risk of falling back into drug use, and provides persons in Visalia, California who are recovering from addiction the chance to make a real life for themselves.
