When a person has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a clean and supportive setting until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the individual might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants 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, finishing school, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Collinsville are operated by individuals who in many instances were once residents of the house. How long an individual is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must comply with drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to ensure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively addressed in an addiction treatment facility.
