When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and sober and positive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Jerseyville are run by individuals who in many instances were once occupants of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue randomly to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively handled in an addiction treatment program.
