When a person has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's parole for example, or the individual may 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 repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in South China are managed by individuals who in most instances were once occupants of the house. How long a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to comply with alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue randomly to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately addressed in a substance abuse recovery program.
