When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can live in a clean and sober and supportive setting until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or the person could make the decision 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 striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting employment, etc.
Halfway Houses in Tumwater are run by people who in most cases were once occupants of the house. How long a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen regularly to make sure there isn't any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively handled in an alcohol or drug recovery program.
