Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Athens, ME.

When someone has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as resuming where you left off. Restoring a stable 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 drug and alcohol free and healthy setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual might decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Athens are run by individuals who in many instances were once occupants of the house. The duration an individual is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must comply with alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place frequently to ensure there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively addressed in an alcohol or drug rehab facility.
