When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the individual might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Collinsville are operated by individuals who in many instances were once tenants of the house. How long an individual is allowed to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must undergo alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will continue frequently to ensure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively addressed in a drug or alcohol rehab program.
