When a person has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can live in a sober and supportive setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are sober 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 Goodhue are run by people who in many instances were once occupants of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to comply with drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place randomly to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately dealt with in a substance abuse rehab program.
