When someone has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and sober and positive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or the individual may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Roy are operated by individuals who in many cases were once occupants of the house. How long an individual is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must comply with alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen randomly to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in a drug or alcohol treatment program.
