When a person has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can live in a clean and supportive setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Bristol are managed by individuals who in many instances were once tenants of the house. How long a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must undergo alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately dealt with in a drug or alcohol treatment facility.
