Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Long Island, ME.

When a person has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and supportive setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or the person could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and working towards doing what is necessary to get their lives back on track. This could mean getting one's GED, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Long Island are operated by people who in many cases were once tenants of the house. How long an individual is allowed to remain at the Halfway House can vary, but it's commonly anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Residents are required to submit to alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will continue regularly to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more effectively handled in an alcohol or drug rehab program.
