When an individual has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Getting back 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 place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and supportive setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the individual might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Cowen are run by people who in many instances were once tenants of the house. The duration an individual is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to ensure there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately addressed in a drug or alcohol treatment facility.
