Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Shrewsbury, MA.

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as picking up where you left off. Returning 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 place where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or the individual could decide 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 sober and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Shrewsbury are managed by people who in many instances were once residents of the house. How long an individual is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to comply with alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place frequently to ensure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately handled in a substance abuse rehabilitation program.
