When a person has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as picking up 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 go where they can live in a clean and healthy environment until they can 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 person may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Hitchcock are operated by people who in most instances were once tenants of the house. How long 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. Occupants must submit to alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to ensure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately addressed in a substance abuse treatment program.
