When a person has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and healthy environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's parole for example, or the person may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in San Francisco are operated by individuals who in most cases were once residents of the house. The length of time an individual is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to undergo alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will continue frequently to be certain there isn't any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately addressed in a substance abuse rehab facility.
