When someone has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple 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, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and healthy setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Northport are managed by people who in many cases were once occupants of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to comply with alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to ensure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively addressed in an addiction rehab program.
