When an individual has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive setting until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, tenants 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, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Missouri Valley are run by individuals who in many cases were once tenants of the house. How long a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen randomly to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively addressed in a drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility.
