When a person has conquered substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in South Amboy are run by people who in many instances were once occupants of the house. The duration an individual is allowed to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must submit to alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to be certain there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively addressed in an addiction treatment facility.
