Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Burlington, ME.

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as picking up where you left off. Restoring a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and positive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's parole for example, or the person might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Burlington are managed by people who in many instances were once residents of the house. The duration a person is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to comply with alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue regularly to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively dealt with in a substance abuse treatment facility.
