When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a stable 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 clean and sober and positive 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 for example, or the individual might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Harlan are run by individuals who in most instances were once residents of the house. The duration an individual is allowed to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen regularly to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively handled in a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program.
