Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Rickardsville, IA.

When someone has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a stable 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 recovering individuals can go where they can live in a sober and positive environment until they can 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 might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are 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 Rickardsville are run by people who in many cases were once tenants of the house. The duration an individual is allowed to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to make sure there is not any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately handled in an addiction treatment facility.
