Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Amherst, SD.

When a person has overcome substance abuse problem, 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 hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and sober and supportive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or the individual could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Amherst are run by people who in many instances were once occupants of the house. How long a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must undergo drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen randomly to ensure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively addressed in a drug or alcohol treatment facility.
