Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Oakland, ME.

When an individual has conquered substance abuse problem, it's not as simple as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of hard work. A Halfway House, a.k.a. a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where people in recovery can go where they can live in a clean and sober and positive setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation for example, or the person might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, occupants of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what they need to do to get their lives back on track. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Oakland are managed by individuals who in most instances were once tenants of the house. The length of time a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must submit to drug and alcohol testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will happen frequently to make sure there isn't any substance use in the house or addiction issues that would be more adequately dealt with in an addiction treatment program.
