When someone has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and supportive setting until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or the individual could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Katy are managed by individuals who in many instances were once occupants of the house. How long an individual is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to ensure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately addressed in a drug or alcohol recovery program.
