When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a clean and sober and supportive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or the person may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Streator are run by people who in most cases were once occupants of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must comply with drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue regularly to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately addressed in a drug or alcohol recovery facility.
