Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Barnstable, MA.

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Barnstable are managed by individuals who in most cases were once tenants 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. Tenants are required to comply with drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to make sure there is not any substance use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately addressed in an addiction rehab facility.
