When someone has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and healthy environment 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 person might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in New Holland are run by individuals who in most cases were once occupants of the house. The duration a person is allowed to live 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 alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue frequently to ensure there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively dealt with in a substance abuse recovery program.
