When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a positive 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 recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and supportive setting until they are able to 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 individual might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Mount Vernon are managed by individuals who in many cases were once residents of the house. The length of time an individual is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to ensure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately addressed in an addiction recovery facility.
