When someone 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 lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a clean and sober and positive setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Casa are operated by individuals who in most cases were once tenants of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must comply with drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue randomly to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively dealt with in an alcohol or drug recovery facility.
