Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Machias, ME.

When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as starting life again where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of determination. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a clean and sober and positive environment until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the person could decide to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Machias are managed by people who in many cases were once tenants of the house. How long an individual is permitted to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's typically anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must submit to drug and alcohol testing before entering the house, and this testing will continue regularly to ensure there isn't any drug use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately dealt with in an alcohol or drug recovery program.
