When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. 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 positive setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or someone may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Elk are run by people who in many cases were once occupants of the house. How long a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to comply with drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to ensure there is not any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately dealt with in a drug or alcohol rehab facility.
