When a person has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can go where they can live in a sober and healthy setting 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 individual may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Rapids City are run by individuals who in most cases were once occupants of the house. How long a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must comply with drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will continue regularly to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse rehabilitation program.
