A halfway house, sometimes called a recovery house or sober living facility, is a facility which enables a person who is just getting over addiction to live in an environment that helps them re-acclimate to the real world as a drug free individual that intends on leading a healthy and productive life. Following drug and alcohol treatment, it is occasionally necessary for people to live in a halfway house where they can take part in additional counseling and therapy services while simultaneously finding a job and a place to live so that they can have everything in their life geared towards success and abstinence. A halfway house is a way to minimize the threat of relapse, and offers persons in Long Beach, California who are recovering from addiction the opportunity to make a happier life for themselves.
