When an individual has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as picking up where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a sober and positive setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or the individual could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, 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 getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Trinidad are run by people who in many instances were once occupants of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to comply with drug and alcohol testing before 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 dealt with in a drug or alcohol recovery facility.
