When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a clean and supportive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Crenshaw are run 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 usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue frequently to make sure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse recovery facility.
