In 1993 SAA purchased a house at Miklabraut 1 in Reykjavík with the intention of turning the property into a recovery house. Miklabraut 1 is now a fully operational recovery house for men and houses up to 24 clients at a time. This operation increased the success rate of the treatment program and was so successful that SAA decided to offer a similar post-treatment option to women. Following this decision a house in Eskihlid 3 in Reykjavík was purchased in 1995. After some repair work a cohabitation center for women started operation in the beginning of 1996. The property has a housing capacity for fifteen women at a time and this includes room for children who can accompany their mothers to the cohabitation center. SAA halfway-houses can therefore house up to sixty individuals at a time.

The operation of these cohabitation centers is a relatively new facet of SAA operations. The three cohabitation centers are capable of housing up to 60 individuals. SAA supplies the actual properties and pays all maintenance costs involved. The patients themselves, on the other hand, pay the actual operating costs of the SAA Cohabitation Centers themselves. However, SAA has borne some of the operating losses ot the cohabitation centers. This social service for patients who have completed treatment has been a decisive factor in attaining better restults and is already an important and necessary part of SAA activities
