When a person has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, tenants 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 Glenwood Springs are run by individuals who in many cases were once tenants of the house. The duration an individual is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to comply with alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue regularly to make sure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively addressed in an addiction rehab facility.
