When an individual has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and sober and healthy 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 or parole for example, or someone could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Portola Valley are managed by people who in many instances were once occupants of the house. The duration a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen randomly to ensure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately dealt with in a substance abuse rehabilitation facility.
