When an individual has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as picking up 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 an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and positive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or the person could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Braintree are operated by individuals who in many cases were once occupants of the house. The length of time 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. Tenants are required to comply with drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to make sure there is not any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse rehab facility.
