Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Reading, MA.

When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a clean and positive environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation for example, or the individual may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Reading are run by people who in most instances were once occupants of the house. The duration a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to comply with drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place randomly to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately handled in an alcohol or drug rehabilitation program.
