Reach for a dry article at home (6)
I believe the answer is:
attain
'reach' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a dry article at home' is the wordplay.
'dry' becomes 'tt' (abbreviation for teetotal).
'article' becomes 'a' (indefinite article).
'at home' becomes 'in' ('in' can be similar in meaning to 'at home').
'a'+'tt'+'a'+'in'='ATTAIN'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for attain that I've seen before include "Reach objective, get there" , "Gain with effort" , "Arrive at, accomplish" , "Achieve with effort" , "Bring off" .)
