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

When a person has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or the individual could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Gilman are operated by people who in many instances were once occupants of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to live at the Halfway House can vary, 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 be certain there is not any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively handled in a substance abuse rehabilitation facility.
