Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - St. Elmo, AL.

When an individual has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as picking up where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a sober and positive setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in St. Elmo are run by people who in most cases were once tenants of the house. How long an individual is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to comply with drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will continue randomly to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately handled in an alcohol or drug recovery program.
