When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as picking up where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and supportive setting until they are able to 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 make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Manchester are run by people who in most cases were once tenants of the house. How long a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse recovery facility.
