When someone has rehabilitated from a 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 great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can live in a clean and sober and supportive setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Rochester are run by individuals who in most instances were once tenants of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must submit to alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in an addiction recovery program.
