When someone has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they 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 term of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Erie are operated by individuals who in most cases were once occupants of the house. The duration an individual 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 alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue frequently to ensure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively handled in an addiction rehab facility.
