When a person has conquered substance abuse problem, 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 effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a sober and supportive environment until they are able to live confidently 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. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Vernon Hills are operated by people who in many cases were once occupants of the house. The duration an individual is allowed to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively addressed in an alcohol or drug treatment facility.
