When an individual has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as picking up where you left off. Returning to a positive 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 live in a sober and healthy setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or someone could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Elmwood are operated by people who in many instances were once occupants of the house. How long an individual is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue regularly to ensure there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately dealt with in an alcohol or drug treatment facility.
