When an individual has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a successful 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 condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Standard are run by individuals who in most cases were once occupants of the house. The duration a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must comply with drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen frequently to ensure there isn't any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively dealt with in a drug or alcohol treatment program.
