When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or someone could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Colonia are managed by people who in most instances were once residents of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must 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 effectively handled in an alcohol or drug treatment program.
