When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive setting until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or someone might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Gettysburg are run by individuals who in most instances were once occupants of the house. How long a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue regularly to make sure there isn't any drug use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively dealt with in a drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility.
