here where I am half way houses are not meant to be places where you get treatment. its where you stay while continuing your already set up treatment plans that you had before you move there. its a step down from full inpatient care.. a self sufficiency program where you do everything on your own. they just have staff there in case a problem arises.
examples
a paroled person goes from prison to a half way house to live. while at the half way house they have to continue to meet with their parole officer that was set up before they left prison, they have to continue meeting with their doctors / therapists/ psychiatrists that were set up for them before they left prison, they have to continue with any medications that they were put on while in prison.
A drug addict who has been released from a drug treatment facility will go to a half way house to live. they continue with their NA,AA programs, they continue meeting with their therapists and psychiatrists that were set up already before their release from rehab, they continue to work their jobs or look for work....they continue taking their medications that were previously set up for them before they left rahab.
A person who was in a mental facility here where I am gets released from the faility to the half way house, at the half way house they have to continue with their treatment plans that have already been set up for them, their meds that have already been set up for them, and attend any classes / groups that are required if any are optional they can choose to attend or not.
maybe you can do some research and locate that place you were in and ask them questions like why they did things like they did for you, ask to see your file with them, ask how and why you ended up in their home.
maybe they can answer your questions so that you can finally have some peace of mind / closure so to speak around what happened back when you were in that place.
