Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - St. Bernard, LA.

When someone has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as picking up where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a drug and alcohol free and positive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or someone may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants 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, finishing school, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in St. Bernard are operated by individuals who in many instances were once tenants of the house. The duration an individual is allowed to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to undergo drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place frequently to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately handled in an addiction recovery program.
