When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive setting 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 might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Hamilton are run by individuals who in most cases were once occupants of the house. How long a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must comply with drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place randomly to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse rehabilitation facility.
