When an individual has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free 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 probation or parole for example, or someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Oakwood are operated by individuals who in most cases were once residents of the house. The duration a person is allowed to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly 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 continue regularly to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately dealt with in an addiction recovery facility.
