When a person has conquered substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a sober and supportive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or someone might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Philadelphia are operated by individuals who in most cases were once occupants of the house. How long a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue frequently to be certain there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately addressed in a drug or alcohol treatment program.
