When a person has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can live in a clean and supportive environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Dallas are run by individuals who in most instances were once tenants of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place frequently to be certain there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively addressed in a drug or alcohol rehab facility.
