Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Newbury, MA.

When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a sober and positive setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the person may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Newbury are run by people who in most instances were once tenants of the house. How long a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen regularly to make sure there isn't any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately handled in an addiction rehabilitation program.
