When an individual has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as picking up where you left off. Getting back to 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 recovering individuals can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or the individual might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Albany are run by individuals who in many instances were once residents of the house. How long an individual is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place regularly to make sure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively dealt with in an addiction rehabilitation program.
