When someone has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can live in a sober and supportive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or the person may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Mathis are run by individuals who in many instances were once tenants of the house. The length of time an individual is allowed to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must comply with alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue frequently to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively addressed in a drug or alcohol rehab facility.
