When someone has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to 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 people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Woodbury Heights are managed by people who in most instances were once residents of the house. How long an individual is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue regularly to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively addressed in an addiction treatment program.
