When a person has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can live in a sober and supportive setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or the person might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Bath are run by people who in many cases were once tenants of the house. How long an individual is allowed to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue regularly to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively dealt with in a drug or alcohol recovery facility.
