When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can live in a clean and sober and supportive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or the individual may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free 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 Douglas are operated by people who in many instances were once residents of the house. The duration 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. Residents must comply with drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen regularly to ensure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively addressed in a drug or alcohol treatment facility.
