When someone has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a clean and sober and supportive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or the individual might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Anchorage are managed by individuals who in most instances were once tenants of the house. How long a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must undergo drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place frequently to be certain there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively handled in a drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility.
