When someone has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and healthy environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Galena are operated by people who in most instances were once occupants of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to undergo alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will continue randomly to make sure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively addressed in an addiction rehabilitation program.
