When an individual has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Restoring a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a clean and healthy environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's parole for example, or the individual may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in New Ringgold are managed by people who in many instances were once residents of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to undergo alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will happen randomly to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively dealt with in a substance abuse recovery program.
