Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - University, MS.

When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't 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, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in University are managed by individuals who in most instances were once occupants of the house. The duration an individual is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place regularly to make sure there is not any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately handled in an alcohol or drug rehabilitation facility.
