When someone has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as resuming 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 an environment where people in recovery can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or the person might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Lena are operated by people who in many instances were once occupants of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue regularly to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately dealt with in an alcohol or drug rehab facility.
