Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Gainesville, FL.

When an individual has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can live in a sober and healthy setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Gainesville are run by people who in most instances were once tenants of the house. How long a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place regularly to ensure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately handled in an alcohol or drug rehab facility.
