Fact to some degree. Yes, there is nothing stopping residents from doing this, but they will be drug tested or be given a breathalyzer and will likely be (should be) kicked out. There are rules against use of drugs and alcohol. Then again, some facilities that NEED residents may be prone to look the other way than kick those out suspected of drug or alcohol use.
Sober Living Nashville TN's Luxury Halfway Houses have strict, no tolerance policies against drug and alcohol use. The Luxury Halfway Houses are also the nicest Sober Living Facilities around and residents tend to not want to get kicked out or have to go to other houses that are not as nice. We also require that individuals have at least 60 days prior to moving into our Luxury Halfway Houses. These individuals are more stable and somewhat less likely to use than those coming in right off the street with only a day or a week of sobriety time. Halfway House Myths Debunked . . . Yep!
