When an individual has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can live in a clean and sober and healthy environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or someone may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Monticello are managed by individuals who in most instances were once occupants of the house. How long an individual is allowed to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately dealt with in a drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility.
