When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can live in a sober and positive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or someone might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Douglassville are managed by individuals who in most instances were once tenants of the house. How long a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to comply with drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to make sure there is not any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively addressed in a substance abuse treatment facility.
