What are the another names of Halfway houses ?

Expert Solution
Step 1

 

HALFWAY HOUSES-

When compared to being released directly into society, a halfway house, also known as a recovery house or sober house, allows persons to begin the process of reintegration into society while still receiving surveillance and care; this is thought to reduce the likelihood of recidivism or relapse. Some halfway houses are purely for the reintegration of people who have recently been released from prison or jail, while others are for people with severe mental illnesses and the majority are for people with substance addiction problems. Many of the people who live in these sober halfway houses do so voluntarily, and many of them have no criminal records. Wherever halfway homes try to set up shop, they frequently face criticism.
