When someone has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and sober and healthy setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Cohutta are run by people who in most cases were once residents of the house. How long a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to undergo alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place randomly to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse rehab program.
