When a person has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term 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 after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in New York are run by individuals who in many cases were once tenants of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will happen regularly to make sure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately handled in an addiction recovery facility.
