When a person has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a sober and supportive setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or someone may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Howe are operated by people who in most cases were once residents of the house. The duration a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue regularly to ensure there isn't any drug use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately addressed in an alcohol or drug rehab program.
