When an individual has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can live in a clean and sober and healthy setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Nederland are operated by individuals who in many cases were once residents of the house. How long a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place randomly to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively addressed in an addiction rehabilitation facility.
