When someone has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive setting 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 someone may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Austin are run by individuals who in most instances were once tenants of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must submit to drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen regularly to be certain there isn't any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively addressed in a drug or alcohol rehab program.
