When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a clean and supportive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the person could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will 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 Rescue are run by individuals who in many instances were once tenants of the house. How long a person is allowed to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to comply with drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will happen frequently to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately dealt with in a substance abuse treatment facility.
