Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Cumberland Center, ME.

When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Restoring a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy environment until they can 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 may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Cumberland Center are run by people who in many instances were once occupants of the house. How long an individual is allowed to stay at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue frequently to be certain there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively dealt with in a drug or alcohol recovery program.
