When an individual has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery 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 requirement of a person's probation for example, or the individual could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Cornell are managed by people who in most cases were once tenants of the house. How long an individual is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place regularly to be certain there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately handled in a drug or alcohol rehab facility.
