When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as picking up where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and sober and supportive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Myra are managed by individuals who in many instances were once residents of the house. The duration an individual is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must comply with drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place randomly to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively addressed in an addiction rehab program.
