When someone has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the person could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Gould are run by people who in most cases were once occupants of the house. The length of time an individual is allowed to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen randomly to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively addressed in an alcohol or drug recovery program.
