When someone has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a sober and positive setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition 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, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Glenview are operated by individuals who in many instances were once occupants of the house. The duration a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately handled in a substance abuse recovery facility.
