When a person has conquered substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple 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 known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and sober and healthy setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Merkel are run by individuals who in many cases were once tenants of the house. The duration an individual is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must undergo alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue randomly to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse recovery facility.
