When an individual has conquered substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can go where they can live in a sober and positive setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's parole for example, or someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, tenants 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, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Hillsborough are run by individuals who in many cases were once tenants of the house. How long a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to comply with drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place frequently to be certain there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately addressed in an addiction recovery program.
