When someone has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery 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 term of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Dublin are managed by people who in most instances were once occupants of the house. The duration a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to make sure there is not any substance use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately dealt with in an alcohol or drug recovery program.
