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

When someone has conquered substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as resuming where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where people in recovery can go where they can live in a sober and healthy setting 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 person could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, finding employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Hallowell are run by people who in most cases were once tenants of the house. How long a person is allowed to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to submit to drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to ensure there isn't any substance use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately addressed in a substance abuse treatment facility.
