When an individual has conquered substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a positive 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 sober 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 someone might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Gaines are managed by people who in most instances were once residents of the house. The length of time 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. Occupants are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place randomly to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively addressed in an alcohol or drug rehab facility.
