When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals 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 for example, or someone could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, 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 getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Bedford are operated by people who in many cases were once residents of the house. The duration a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to be certain there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately handled in an alcohol or drug treatment program.
