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

When an individual has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a stable 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 people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and supportive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone could 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 clean and sober and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Leicester are operated by people who in most instances were once occupants of the house. The duration a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must undergo drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen frequently to ensure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately handled in a drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility.
