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

When an individual has conquered substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as picking up where you left off. Restoring a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can go where they can live in a sober and healthy environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's parole for example, or the individual could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Durham are run by individuals who in most instances were once occupants of the house. How long an individual is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place randomly to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately addressed in an addiction treatment program.
