Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - College Springs, IA.

When a person has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy 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 someone might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, occupants 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 College Springs are operated by people who in most instances were once residents of the house. How long a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen regularly to make sure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively dealt with in an alcohol or drug recovery program.
