Either way, residents of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Shell Rock are operated by individuals who in many cases were once tenants of the house. How long an individual is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place regularly to make sure there isn't any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively handled in an alcohol or drug rehab program.
