A halfway house, sometimes called a recovery house or sober living facility, is a facility which enables a person who is recovering from addiction to live in an environment that helps them re-acclimate to the real world as a drug free person who wants to lead a healthy and productive life. Following drug and alcohol treatment, it is occasionally necessary for individuals to reside in a halfway house so they may partake in further counseling and therapy services while at the same time locating employment and housing so that they can have everything in their lives set up for success and abstinence. A halfway house is a way to decrease the risk of relapse, and offers individuals in El Cajon who are recovering from addiction the opportunity to make a real life for themselves.
