When someone has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can live in a sober and healthy setting until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, occupants 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, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Brooklyn are run by people who in many cases were once tenants of the house. How long a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue randomly to be certain there isn't any drug use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately handled in an alcohol or drug rehabilitation facility.
