When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as picking up where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can live in a clean and healthy environment 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 may 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 striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Chico are managed by people who in most cases were once occupants of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must undergo drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen frequently to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse treatment program.
