Alabama Sober Living - Halfway House - Transitional Housing

One of the grim realities of alcohol and drug is that, if left untreated, it will rob sufferers of their ability to manage and control their own lives. For some this means losing their savings, jobs and families; for others, it means losing their basic ability to perform life skills. It’s also true that patients who are just coming out of addiction treatment often need additional support to help them repair their lives and get back on their feet. In either case, sober living facilities, halfway houses and transitional housing facilities can provide a bridge to independent living, accountability and successful long-term recovery.

What Happens in Transitional Housing?

The goals and experiences of transitional housing vary based on what kind of housing the patient moves into. Halfway houses are generally affiliated with a treatment facility and allow patients to stay there for a designated amount of time while they work toward transitioning back into their lives and family dynamics. Sober living facilities often allow those in recovery to stay for open-ended periods of time, paying lower rent rates, as long as they maintain compliance with the rules of the house and stay clean. The ultimate goal is the same: to provide structure, support, and guidance to help patients successfully regain their independence in recovery.

Is Transitional Housing Right for Me?

Alabama offers multiple transitional housing resources, including sober living and halfway houses, to help residents whose lives have been severely impacted by substance use disorder.
