Halfway Houses for Drug & Alcohol Addiction

Last updated on: Wednesday, 19 August 2026

Halfway houses, also called Community-Based Residential Facilities in Canada, provide safe and supportive housing for people transitioning back into society. These facilities help individuals who have completed prison sentences, finished drug and alcohol treatment programs, or need a structured living environment to maintain sobriety and rebuild their lives. A halfway house offers a bridge between institutional care and independent living, giving residents time to adjust, learn new skills, and develop healthy routines. Browse the provinces below to find a halfway house for you or your loved one.
