When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive 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 might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Fairbanks are operated by people who in many cases were once residents of the house. The duration an individual is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue frequently to ensure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately handled in a substance abuse treatment facility.
