When a person has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can go where they can live in a sober and positive setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or someone might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Gearhart are run by people who in most instances were once tenants of the house. How long an individual is allowed to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen frequently to ensure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately dealt with in an addiction treatment program.
