When an individual has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. 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 sober and supportive setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the person may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Saugus are managed by people who in many instances were once tenants of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place regularly to be certain there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively dealt with in an alcohol or drug recovery program.
