When someone has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or the person might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Upper Kalskag are operated by individuals who in many instances were once occupants of the house. How long a person is allowed 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 undergo alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will happen frequently to be certain there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively dealt with in a drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility.
