When someone has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free 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 probation or parole for example, or the person might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Cuba are operated by individuals who in many instances were once residents of the house. The length of time an individual is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to be certain there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately handled in a drug or alcohol rehab program.
