When someone has conquered substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a sober and supportive environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or someone could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Elgin are run by individuals who in most instances were once residents of the house. How long a person is allowed to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must 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 substance abuse problems that would be more effectively handled in an alcohol or drug recovery facility.
