When an individual has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as picking up where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Gifford are operated by individuals who in most instances were once tenants of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue frequently to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in an addiction rehabilitation facility.
