In either case, residents of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Pittsfield are managed by individuals who in most cases were once residents of the house. How long a person is permitted 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 comply with alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place frequently to ensure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately handled in an addiction recovery program.
