Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Canaan, ME.

When someone has rehabilitated from a drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as picking up where you left off. Restoring a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can live in a clean and healthy setting 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 could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are sober and working towards doing what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Canaan are managed by individuals who in most instances were once tenants of the house. The duration a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents must comply with drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place randomly to be certain there is not any substance use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively addressed in an addiction rehabilitation program.
