When someone has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as resuming where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can live in a clean and supportive setting until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or someone could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Leith are run by individuals who in many instances were once tenants of the house. How long a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue frequently to ensure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately handled in an addiction rehabilitation program.
