When an individual has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as resuming 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 an environment where recovering individuals can live in a clean and supportive environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or someone could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Maitland are run by individuals who in many instances were once occupants of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen regularly to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively addressed in an alcohol or drug treatment program.
