Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Oakland, OR.

When someone has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or the individual may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Oakland are managed by people who in many cases were once tenants of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place randomly to ensure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately handled in an alcohol or drug rehabilitation facility.
