When a person has conquered substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as picking up where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can live in a clean and healthy environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or the person might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Little York are run by people 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 typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place frequently to ensure there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively dealt with in a substance abuse recovery facility.
