When an individual has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a positive 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 live in a sober and supportive setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.
Halfway Houses in Odessa are managed by individuals who in most instances were once residents of the house. How long a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to comply with drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place frequently to be certain there isn't any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately addressed in a substance abuse recovery program.
