Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Houlton, ME.

When a person has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy setting until they can live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or the individual might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Houlton are managed by individuals who in many instances were once occupants of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to live at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will take place regularly to ensure there is not any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively dealt with in a substance abuse treatment facility.
