Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Onawa, IA.

When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning 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 a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a sober and supportive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Onawa are managed by people who in many cases were once occupants of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must comply with alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to be certain there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in a drug or alcohol rehab facility.
