Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - South Portland, ME.

When someone has overcome substance abuse problem, it's not as easy as resuming where you left off. Returning to a successful and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a setting where recovering individuals can live in a clean and positive environment until they are able to live confidently on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a requirement of a person's parole for example, or the individual may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, occupants of a Halfway House are clean and sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in South Portland are run by people who in most cases were once tenants of the house. The length of time 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. Residents must submit to alcohol and drug testing before being accepted into the house, and this testing will take place intermittently to be certain there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more effectively addressed in a substance abuse rehabilitation program.
