Frequently Asked Questions
The terms are often used interchangeably, which creates real confusion. A sober living home is a voluntary, peer-based, privately run residence for people stepping down from addiction treatment. Residents pay rent, follow house rules, and stay as long as they remain sober. A halfway house most often refers to a government-funded transitional facility for people leaving incarceration, where residency may be court-mandated. Both provide substance-free housing during a high-risk period, but they serve different populations and operate under very different models.
