Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Barre, MA.

When an individual has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or someone may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Barre are managed by people who in most cases were once tenants of the house. How long a person is allowed to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to be certain there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately dealt with in a drug or alcohol rehab program.
