When a person has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and sober and supportive setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Gray are run by individuals who in most cases were once tenants of the house. The length of time an individual is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue regularly to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively addressed in an addiction rehab program.
