When an individual has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as picking up where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can go where they can live in a sober and healthy environment until they are able to 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, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Ferndale are managed by individuals who in most cases were once tenants of the house. The duration a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must comply with drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively addressed in an alcohol or drug recovery program.
