When someone has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or the individual may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents 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, for example, finishing school, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Berkeley Heights are operated by people who in most cases were once tenants of the house. The duration a person is allowed to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must comply with drug and alcohol 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 substance abuse problems that would be more effectively handled in a drug or alcohol treatment program.
