Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Columbia, SD.

When an individual has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and sober and healthy environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Columbia are operated by people who in many instances were once occupants of the house. How long a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen frequently to ensure there isn't any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively addressed in an alcohol or drug rehab program.
