What is a Halfway House or Sober Living Facility?

A halfway house is a transitional living facility for people who are recovering from drug or alcohol addiction. It sometimes refers to a temporary accommodation for former prison inmates who are not yet able to live on their own. 

Some halfway houses accept as residents people who have received mental health treatment or have experienced homelessness.

Also known as transitional homes or sober homes, halfway houses help people in recovery make their way toward a more permanent living situation. Sobriety is mandatory; alcohol and drug use are prohibited. To one extent or another, basic recovery and life skill development services are made available.

For our purposes, there are plenty of halfway houses in Tennessee.
