When someone has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Restoring a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. 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 sober and positive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or the person might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Troy are operated by individuals who in many cases were once residents of the house. How long a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to comply with drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to make sure there is not any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately handled in a drug or alcohol rehab facility.
