Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Penobscot, ME.

When an individual has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as easy as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can go where they can live in a drug and alcohol free and healthy setting until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's probation for example, or the individual may decide to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and working towards doing what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, finishing school, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Penobscot are run by individuals who in most cases were once occupants of the house. The length of time an individual is permitted to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants are required to undergo alcohol and drug testing before entering the house, and this testing will happen frequently to make sure there is not any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse issues that would be more adequately dealt with in an addiction rehab program.
