Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Empire, AL.

When an individual has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can live in a clean and sober and healthy environment until they are able to 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 will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Empire are operated by individuals who in many cases were once occupants of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to make sure there isn't any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately addressed in an addiction recovery program.
