Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Amherst, MA.

When someone has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can live in a clean and positive environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, 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, finishing school, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Amherst are managed by individuals who in most instances were once tenants of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately handled in an alcohol or drug recovery facility.
