When a person has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and sober and positive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or the person might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, 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, finishing school, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Galesburg are run by individuals who in many cases were once occupants of the house. The length of time an individual is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must comply with drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will continue frequently to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately dealt with in a drug or alcohol recovery program.
