When an individual has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as picking up 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 an environment where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or the individual might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants 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 employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Dickson City are run by individuals who in many instances were once occupants of the house. The length of time an individual is allowed to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to be certain there isn't any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately addressed in a substance abuse recovery facility.
