When a person has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's parole for example, or the person might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in North East are run by people who in many instances were once occupants of the house. How long a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to comply with drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen regularly to be certain there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively handled in a drug or alcohol treatment facility.
