When an individual has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and supportive environment 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 someone could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Barnesville are run by people who in many instances were once occupants of the house. The duration a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue frequently to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately addressed in a drug or alcohol treatment program.
