When someone has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can live in a clean and sober and positive 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 for example, or someone could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, occupants 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, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Yancey are managed by individuals who in most cases were once occupants of the house. How long a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must comply with drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately dealt with in a drug or alcohol recovery facility.
