Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Charleston, MO.

When an individual has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a stable 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 supportive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Charleston are run by people who in many instances were once tenants of the house. The length of time a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must undergo alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place randomly to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately dealt with in an addiction rehabilitation facility.
