When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can live in a clean and sober and positive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, occupants 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 getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Paxton are managed by individuals who in many cases were once residents of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen regularly to ensure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively handled in a drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility.
