A halfway house, sometimes called a recovery house or sober living facility, is a type of center or home which enables a person who is recovering from addiction to be in an environment which will help them re-enter the real world as an abstinent individual who wants to lead a healthy and productive life. Following drug rehab, it is occasionally essential for persons to live in a halfway house so they may take part in more counseling and therapy services while at the same time locating work and housing so that they can have everything in their life geared towards prosperity and sobriety. A halfway house is a way to minimize the threat of relapse, and gives people in Castaic, California who are recovering from addiction the opportunity to build a real life for themselves.
