Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Columbia, MS.

When an individual has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can live in a clean and sober and positive 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 for example, or the individual may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Columbia are managed by people who in most cases were once tenants of the house. The duration a person is allowed to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue frequently to be certain there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately addressed in an addiction rehab facility.
