Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Berkshire, MA.

When someone has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and sober and healthy setting 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 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 striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Berkshire are operated by people who in most instances were once residents of the house. The duration a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue frequently to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively handled in an addiction recovery facility.
