Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Onalaska, WI.

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 effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a clean and positive setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or someone could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free 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 Onalaska are managed by individuals who in most instances were once occupants 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. Residents must comply with drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue randomly to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately handled in a drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility.
