When an individual has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a clean and sober and healthy environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Ellsworth are managed by individuals who in many cases were once occupants of the house. The duration a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must comply with drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place randomly to be certain there isn't any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively addressed in a substance abuse recovery program.
