When an individual has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can live in a sober and supportive setting 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 person could 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 working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Northridge are run by people who in many instances were once occupants of the house. How long an individual is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen frequently to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately addressed in an addiction rehabilitation program.
