Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - San Quentin, CA.

When someone has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a sober and supportive setting until they can 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 following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in San Quentin are run by people who in most cases were once tenants of the house. How long a person is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must submit to drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place regularly to make sure there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively dealt with in an addiction rehab program.
