When someone has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or the person might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Cotuit are managed by people who in many instances were once tenants of the house. The duration a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to be certain there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately dealt with in an addiction treatment facility.
