When a person has conquered substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as picking up where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will 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 repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Seattle are operated by people who in many cases were once occupants of the house. How long an individual is allowed to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to be certain there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively dealt with in a drug or alcohol recovery program.
