When an individual has conquered substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's parole for example, or the individual could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Parkersburg are run by people who in many cases were once residents of the house. How long a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place regularly to ensure there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse rehab program.
