When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a sober and positive 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 person might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Arlington are managed by individuals who in many cases were once tenants of the house. How long a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must undergo alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue regularly to ensure there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively addressed in an addiction rehab program.
