When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal 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 are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term 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 rehab. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Poughkeepsie are managed by people who in most instances were once occupants of the house. How long a person is allowed to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must undergo alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately addressed in a substance abuse treatment program.
