When someone has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and sober and supportive setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the person might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in West Mclean are run by people who in many instances were once tenants of the house. The duration a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must submit to drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place regularly to be certain there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately addressed in a substance abuse treatment program.
