When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Santa Monica are operated by people who in many instances were once tenants of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must comply with drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen regularly to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately addressed in an addiction treatment facility.
