When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a clean and sober and positive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or someone could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Sherwood are managed by people who in most instances were once occupants of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen regularly to be certain there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in an addiction rehab program.
