When a person has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and positive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Edwardsville are run by individuals who in most instances were once tenants of the house. The duration an individual is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must comply with alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place regularly to ensure there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively handled in an alcohol or drug rehab facility.
