When someone has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a clean and healthy environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or the person could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Paterson are operated by people who in many cases were once tenants of the house. How long a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to make sure there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in an addiction treatment facility.
