When an individual has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can live in a clean and positive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the person may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Kansas are operated by individuals who in many instances were once residents of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place frequently to make sure there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively dealt with in an alcohol or drug rehab program.
