When an individual has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Topsham are managed by people who in most instances were once occupants of the house. The duration a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must submit to alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will continue frequently to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively dealt with in an alcohol or drug recovery program.
