When an individual has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a setting 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 requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in College Place are run by individuals who in most instances were once occupants of the house. How long a person is allowed to stay 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 entering the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately addressed in a substance abuse recovery facility.
