Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - East Boston, MA.

When a person has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals 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 condition of a person's parole for example, or the person might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in East Boston are run by individuals who in most instances were once residents of the house. How long an individual is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to undergo alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to be certain there is not any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately handled in an addiction recovery facility.
