When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Restoring a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive setting until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or someone could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Oxford are managed by individuals who in most cases were once residents of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen frequently to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately dealt with in a substance abuse recovery program.
