When an individual has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free 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 individual could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Houston are operated by individuals who in most cases were once residents of the house. The duration a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must undergo alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen randomly to ensure there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively dealt with in an alcohol or drug recovery facility.
