When someone has overcome 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 effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a sober and positive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Kankakee are managed by individuals who in many cases were once tenants of the house. How long an individual is allowed to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must comply with drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen randomly to ensure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively dealt with in a substance abuse treatment facility.
