When an individual has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't 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, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can go where they can live in a sober and supportive 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 individual could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are sober 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 Yorkville are operated by individuals who in many cases were once occupants of the house. The length of time an individual is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue regularly to make sure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively dealt with in an addiction rehabilitation program.
