When an individual has conquered substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and sober and supportive setting until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement 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 treatment. In either case, 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, for example, finishing school, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in London are managed by people who in many instances were once tenants 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. Residents must comply with alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue randomly to be certain there isn't any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively addressed in a drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility.
