Either way, residents of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Washington are operated by individuals who in most cases were once residents of the house. The duration an individual is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place regularly to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively handled in a drug or alcohol treatment program.
