When an individual has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Restoring a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Hazard are run by people who in most cases were once occupants of the house. The length of time an individual 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 prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to ensure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively handled in a drug or alcohol treatment program.
