When an individual has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and healthy environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole 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, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Newton are managed by people who in many cases were once tenants of the house. The duration an individual is allowed to remain 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 before being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately handled in an alcohol or drug rehabilitation program.
