When an individual has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Atka are operated by individuals who in many instances were once occupants of the house. How long a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must comply with drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately dealt with in an alcohol or drug rehabilitation program.
