Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Agency, IA.

When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a sober and positive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's parole for example, or the person could make the decision 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 working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Agency are run by individuals who in most cases were once residents of the house. How long a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must comply with drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen randomly to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately handled in a substance abuse rehabilitation facility.
