Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Southwest Harbor, ME.

When an individual has overcome drug or alcohol addiction, it's not as easy as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a successful and happy life takes time and a lot of effort. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can live in a clean and healthy setting until they are able to live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's probation or parole for example, or the individual might make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord after drug or alcohol treatment. Either way, residents of a Halfway House are drug and alcohol free and striving to do what they need to do to repair their lives. This could mean, for example, finishing school, getting a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Southwest Harbor are run by people who in most cases were once residents of the house. How long an individual is allowed to live at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must undergo drug and alcohol testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will continue regularly to make sure there is not any drug use in the house or addiction problems that would be more adequately addressed in an alcohol or drug treatment program.
