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

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can live in a clean and sober and positive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Portsmouth are managed by people who in many cases were once residents 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. Occupants must undergo drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to make sure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately handled in a drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility.
