When someone has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Getting back to 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 place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the person may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Dyersburg are run by people who in many instances were once residents of the house. How long a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must undergo drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to ensure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively dealt with in a substance abuse rehab program.
