When a person has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can live in a clean and sober and healthy environment until they can 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 accord after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Springfield are operated by individuals who in many instances were once occupants of the house. The length of time 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 must undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place frequently to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively dealt with in a drug or alcohol recovery program.
