When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and positive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or someone could decide 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 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 Gladstone are run by individuals who in many instances were once occupants of the house. The duration a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen randomly to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively handled in an alcohol or drug recovery facility.
