Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Winthrop, MA.

When a person has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and healthy environment until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Winthrop are run by individuals who in many cases were once tenants of the house. How long a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to ensure there isn't any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively addressed in a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program.
