When an individual has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can live in a clean and sober and healthy environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or the individual may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents 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, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Ewing are operated by people who in most instances were once residents of the house. How long an individual is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to make sure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately dealt with in an addiction rehab facility.
