When someone has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a stable 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 people in recovery can live in a clean and sober and positive setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or the individual could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Ages Brookside are run by individuals who in many cases were once residents of the house. The duration an individual is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place randomly to ensure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse rehab program.
