When an individual has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or someone may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Meriden are run by individuals who in most cases were once tenants of the house. The duration an individual is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to undergo alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue randomly to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately handled in a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program.
