When an individual has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as picking up where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and supportive environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, 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, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Merritt are run by people who in most cases were once tenants of the house. How long a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly 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 regularly to ensure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately addressed in an addiction rehab facility.
