When someone has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in North Truro are managed by individuals who in many cases were once residents of the house. How long a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen regularly to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively dealt with in a substance abuse treatment facility.
