When a person has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a sober and healthy setting until they are able to live confidently 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 treatment. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in St. Augustine are run by individuals who in most cases were once tenants of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue frequently to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively addressed in a substance abuse rehab program.
