Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - West Roxbury, MA.

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can live in a clean and healthy setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or the person may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in West Roxbury are operated by individuals who in most instances were once residents of the house. How long an individual is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue randomly to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately handled in a drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility.
