Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Mount Sterling, IA.

When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive setting until they are able to live stably 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 accord after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are 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 a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Mount Sterling are operated by people who in most instances were once occupants of the house. How long an individual is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must undergo drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to ensure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately dealt with in a drug or alcohol recovery program.
