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

When a person has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Restoring a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and healthy environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or the person could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Westfield are managed by people who in most cases were once occupants of the house. How long an individual is permitted to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to comply with alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue intermittently to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively addressed in a substance abuse recovery facility.
