When someone has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as resuming where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or the person could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after 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 finishing school, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Backus are run by individuals who in many instances were once tenants of the house. The duration an individual is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must undergo drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will happen regularly to ensure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately dealt with in a substance abuse treatment facility.
