When an individual has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a clean and sober and healthy 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 someone could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. 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, for example, finishing school, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Skidmore are run by people who in many instances were once tenants of the house. The duration an individual is allowed to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must comply with alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue frequently to ensure there is not any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively addressed in an alcohol or drug recovery program.
