When a person has conquered substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive environment until they are able to 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 treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Agawam are managed by people who in most cases were once occupants of the house. The duration an individual is allowed to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must submit to drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will happen frequently to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively dealt with in an addiction treatment program.
