When someone has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and sober and healthy environment until they are able to live confidently 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 make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Smithfield are run by people who in many cases were once occupants of the house. How long a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must comply with drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen frequently to be certain there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively addressed in an addiction recovery program.
