When someone has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, 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 lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place 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 stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Waka are managed by individuals who in many instances were once tenants of the house. The length of time 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 are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively handled in an alcohol or drug treatment program.
