When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents 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, finishing school, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in St. Petersburg are run by individuals who in most cases were once tenants of the house. How long a person is allowed to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must undergo drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will happen randomly to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately dealt with in a substance abuse recovery facility.
