When a person has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and sober and positive setting until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in West Oneonta are managed by people who in most cases were once occupants of the house. The duration an individual is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to comply with drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to make sure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively addressed in an alcohol or drug treatment program.
