When a person has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can go where they can live in a sober and supportive setting until they can 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 person might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Birmingham are managed by individuals who in most instances were once tenants of the house. The duration a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must submit to drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively dealt with in an addiction rehabilitation program.
