When someone has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as resuming where you left off. Restoring a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and sober and supportive setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Okeechobee are managed by individuals who in many instances were once residents of the house. How long an individual is allowed to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to make sure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively handled in an addiction rehab facility.
