When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a sober and healthy environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or someone may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in York Springs are managed by individuals who in many cases were once occupants of the house. The duration an individual is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually 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 intermittently to ensure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately dealt with in an addiction rehab facility.
