When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive setting until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Fort Benton are run by individuals who in many instances were once tenants of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will happen regularly to be certain there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in a drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility.
