Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Canada, KY.

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a clean and supportive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation or parole for example, or someone may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. 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 getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Canada are run by people who in most instances were once residents of the house. The duration a person is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must comply with drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will continue regularly to make sure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively dealt with in a substance abuse recovery facility.
