Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Sherman Oaks, CA.

When a person has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as picking up where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or the individual could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are 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 Sherman Oaks are run by individuals who in most cases were once occupants of the house. How long an individual is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen regularly to be certain there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately addressed in a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program.
