When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as resuming where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a sober and healthy environment 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 might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Old Station are managed by people who in many instances were once tenants of the house. How long a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to ensure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively addressed in an alcohol or drug rehabilitation program.
