When an individual has conquered substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and sober and healthy setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or the person might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Portland are operated by people who in most cases were once residents of the house. How long a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must undergo drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place frequently to ensure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in an addiction treatment program.
