When an individual has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and supportive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in White Plains are operated by people who in most instances were once tenants of the house. The duration a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to be certain there isn't any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively dealt with in an addiction treatment facility.
