When a person has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a sober and positive environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person might 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 striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Doon are run by people who in many cases were once occupants of the house. How long an individual is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must undergo alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to make sure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately handled in a drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility.
