Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - George, IA.

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. 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 confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in George are managed by individuals who in most instances were once residents of the house. How long a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately handled in a substance abuse rehab program.
