When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a sober and healthy environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or the individual could 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 drug and alcohol free and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in East Texas are operated by people who in most instances were once occupants of the house. The duration an individual is allowed to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen regularly to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately handled in a substance abuse rehab facility.
