When an individual has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the person might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in St. Johns are run by individuals who in many instances were once residents of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place frequently to make sure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately handled in an alcohol or drug recovery program.
