Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - McLaughlin, SD.

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's parole for example, or the person could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in McLaughlin are run by people who in many instances were once tenants of the house. The length of time 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. Tenants must undergo alcohol and drug testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen frequently to ensure there is not any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively dealt with in an alcohol or drug recovery program.
