When someone has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a sober and healthy setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's parole for example, or someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Ina are operated by individuals who in many instances were once residents of the house. The length of time an individual is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen randomly to ensure there isn't any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively dealt with in an addiction treatment facility.
