Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Winthrop Harbor, IL.

When an individual has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as resuming where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a clean and supportive setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or someone might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Winthrop Harbor are operated by individuals who in many cases were once tenants of the house. How long an individual is allowed to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place frequently to make sure there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately addressed in a substance abuse treatment facility.
