When someone has overcome 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 determination. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and sober and healthy environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition 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 sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Orkney Springs are operated by individuals who in many instances were once residents of the house. The length of time 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 must submit to alcohol and drug 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 addiction issues that would be more adequately dealt with in an addiction recovery facility.
