Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Altoona, IA.

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and sober and supportive setting 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 someone might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, tenants 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, finishing school, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Altoona are operated by individuals who in many cases were once tenants of the house. The length of time an individual is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to comply with alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen randomly to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately addressed in a substance abuse rehab program.
