Halfway Houses In Florida -
Foundation to Freedom

A halfway house is a place that provides transitional housing for people who are transitioning out of prison, rehabilitating from addiction, or mental illness. Residents have access to assistance and treatment alternatives while living in a secure and supportive atmosphere at our living sober home in Florida.

Residents enjoy more freedom than they would in a conventional treatment facility, yet they are still expected to abide by house rules and work towards independence. This encompasses the freedom to come and go at will, as well as the capacity to work or go to school. Halfway houses are a great first step on the road to rehabilitation for many people.

The benefits of living in half homes are various. Living in a structured setting is one of its most huge benefits for members. This implies that residents are subject to established curfews, duties, and restrictions. By giving residents routine and accountability, this structure aids in their continued recuperation.

A further benefit of living in halfway houses is that participants have access to resources and support that they would not otherwise have. For instance, several halfway houses have staff on hand to assist tenants with everything they require. These staff personnel can connect residents with resources, assist them in finding employment, and offer them help and support.

We are a non-profit organization that provides a safe and supportive living environment for people who are struggling with addiction or mental illness. Our goal is to help our residents build independent and successful lives.
