When a person has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. 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 supportive setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or the individual may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Nelson are managed by people who in many cases were once tenants of the house. The length of time an individual is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must comply with alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue regularly to be certain there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively dealt with in a substance abuse rehab facility.
