When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a sober and positive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's parole for example, or the individual may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free 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 Rockville are operated by individuals who in many cases were once occupants of the house. The length of time an individual is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will happen frequently to ensure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively addressed in an addiction rehabilitation program.
