When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a sober and supportive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Hickory are operated by people who in many instances were once occupants of the house. The duration a person is permitted 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 alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to ensure there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively dealt with in an addiction rehab program.
