When an individual has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a sober and healthy environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or the person might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following 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 finishing school, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in St. Charles are operated by people who in many instances were once tenants of the house. How long a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must comply with drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in an alcohol or drug rehabilitation facility.
