A halfway house is a recovery or treatment option for those wishing to transition out of a drug or alcohol rehab facility, mental health treatment facility or incarceration. Unlike a drug or alcohol rehab facility, a halfway house offers living structure and support without ongoing addiction treatment.
Did you know that “Halfway house” is an umbrella term for many different types of facilities?
In these facilities, people live as a group under a pre-determined set of rules and requirements, including attendance of required programming, curfews, and continued employment.
Federally contracted halfway houses are called Residential Reentry Centers (RRCs).
State-licensed halfway houses are referred to as Transitional Centers, Reentry Centers, Community Recovery Centers, etc.
These facilities work with corrections departments to house individuals leaving incarceration, often as a condition of parole or other post-release supervision or housing plan.
If you currently live in a halfway house, need sober living options, or need help with continued sober living treatment, visit Primary Purpose Behavioral Health today!
