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

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will 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 repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Hamilton are run by individuals who in most cases were once occupants of the house. How long a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, 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 being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen frequently to be certain there isn't any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively addressed in an addiction treatment facility.
