When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a sober and positive setting until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Lyme Center are run by individuals who in many instances were once residents of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to comply with drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue frequently to make sure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately dealt with in a drug or alcohol recovery program.
