When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the person might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Kittery Point are operated by people who in most cases were once residents of the house. How long a person is allowed to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place randomly to ensure there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in an alcohol or drug treatment program.
