When a person has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and sober and supportive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or the individual may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Myra are run by people who in most instances were once occupants of the house. The duration a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately handled in an addiction recovery program.
