When an individual has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a clean and sober and supportive environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or the person may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in San Pedro are run by people who in most instances were once tenants of the house. How long an individual is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must comply with alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place frequently to be certain there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively dealt with in an addiction rehab facility.
