When someone has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Restoring a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and positive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Brookfield are managed by individuals who in most cases were once occupants of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to make sure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately addressed in a substance abuse rehabilitation facility.
