Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Shepherd, TX.

When an individual has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a sober and positive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or the person might 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 striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Shepherd are managed by individuals who in most cases were once occupants of the house. The length of time an individual is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen regularly to make sure there is not any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately addressed in a substance abuse rehab program.
