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

When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a sober and positive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's parole for example, or the person might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Chester are run by people who in most instances were once residents of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must submit to drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to ensure there isn't any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately dealt with in a substance abuse rehabilitation facility.
