Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Arlington, MA.

When someone has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Arlington are managed by people who in many cases were once residents of the house. The duration 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 comply with drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place randomly to make sure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively handled in an alcohol or drug treatment facility.
