When someone has conquered substance abuse problem, it's not as simple 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 called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and sober and supportive environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Louisville are operated by individuals who in many instances were once residents of the house. How long a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must comply with alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen randomly to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively dealt with in an addiction treatment facility.
