Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - St. Marys, WV.

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can live in a clean and positive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in St. Marys are run by people who in many instances were once tenants of the house. The duration an individual is allowed to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place regularly to ensure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively addressed in a substance abuse recovery facility.
