When someone has overcome substance abuse problem, 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 setting where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive setting until they can 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 could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Richmond are run by people who in many cases were once occupants of the house. The duration a person is allowed to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue frequently to ensure there isn't any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately dealt with in an addiction treatment facility.
