Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Shannon City, IA.

When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive setting until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Shannon City are managed by people who in most cases were once occupants of the house. How long an individual is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must undergo alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to ensure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively addressed in an alcohol or drug rehab program.
