When someone has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, 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 determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can live in a clean and healthy environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the individual could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in New Haven are run by people who in most cases were once tenants of the house. How long a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to comply with drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately handled in an alcohol or drug recovery facility.
