When a person has conquered substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Restoring 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 setting where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and positive setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Burlington are operated by people who in many instances were once residents of the house. The length of time an individual is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must comply with alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to ensure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately addressed in an addiction rehab program.
