When an individual has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and supportive setting until they are able to 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 could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Shade are run by people who in most instances were once tenants of the house. The length of time an individual is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must comply with alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will continue regularly to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately dealt with in a substance abuse treatment program.
