When a person has conquered substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a sober and healthy setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Oakland are operated by people who in many instances were once tenants of the house. The duration an individual is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place regularly to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively addressed in an addiction recovery program.
