Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Calais, ME.

When someone has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as picking up 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 place where people in recovery can live in a sober and positive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean finishing school, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Calais are operated by individuals who in many instances were once tenants of the house. How long a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place frequently to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately handled in a substance abuse rehabilitation facility.
