When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. 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 clean and supportive environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants 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 Hood are managed by individuals who in many instances were once occupants of the house. How long an individual is allowed to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place regularly to be certain there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively addressed in an addiction recovery facility.
