In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, finding employment, etc.

How long a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years.
