Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Wilmette, IL.

When someone has rehabilitated from a substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery 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 parole for example, or the individual might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Wilmette are managed by individuals who in many cases were once residents of the house. The duration a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue randomly to be certain there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more effectively handled in a drug or alcohol rehab facility.
