Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - West Newbury, MA.

When an individual has conquered substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Returning 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 sober and positive setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in West Newbury are managed by people who in many instances were once occupants of the house. How long an individual is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to undergo alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will continue randomly to ensure there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately dealt with in an addiction rehabilitation facility.
