When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as starting life again 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 an environment where people in recovery can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term 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 rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Rochester are run by individuals who in many instances were once residents of the house. How long an individual is allowed to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must undergo drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue regularly to be certain there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively addressed in an addiction treatment program.
