When an individual has conquered substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Returning 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 a setting where recovering individuals can live in a clean and supportive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Boston are operated by people who in many instances were once tenants of the house. The length of time an individual is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must undergo drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to be certain there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively dealt with in a drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility.
