When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or the person might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free 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, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in West Branch are managed by people who in most instances were once tenants of the house. How long an individual 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 submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately dealt with in a substance abuse rehab program.
