When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and supportive setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or the person could 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 clean and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in New River are run by people who in many cases were once occupants of the house. How long a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must submit to alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will continue regularly to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively dealt with in an alcohol or drug treatment program.
