When an individual has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a sober and healthy environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the person could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Glen Allen are managed by people who in most instances were once occupants of the house. How long a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively addressed in a substance abuse treatment program.
