A halfway house, also known as a recovery house or sober living facility, is a type of center or home which enables a person who is just getting over addiction to be in an environment which will help them re-acclimate to society as a sober person that intends on leading a more full and wholesome life. After drug treatment, it is sometimes necessary for people to live in a halfway house so they may take part in further counseling and therapy services while at the same time obtaining a job and housing so that they can have everything in their lives set up for success and abstinence. A halfway house is a way to minimize the risk of relapse, and provides people in La Puente, California who are recovering from addiction the opportunity to build a happier life for themselves.
