Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Essex, IA.

When a person has conquered substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can live in a clean and healthy setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean finishing school, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Essex are managed by people who in many cases were once occupants of the house. How long an individual is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to make sure there isn't any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse rehab facility.
