When a person has conquered substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can live in a clean and sober and positive setting until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or the person may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in South Newbury are operated by individuals who in most cases were once tenants of the house. The duration an individual is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to ensure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively addressed in a drug or alcohol recovery facility.
