When someone has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can live in a sober and supportive environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or the person might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Cedar Rapids are managed by people who in most instances were once tenants of the house. The length of time an individual is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to undergo alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place randomly to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively handled in an alcohol or drug treatment program.
